Ingredients




For The Biscotti:
2 cups flour
11/2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Folgers instant coffee
1 cup sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
¾ cup chopped hazelnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
For The Glaze:
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
½ cup hazelnuts, chopped & toasted

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. 2 Whisk the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and instant coffee in a medium bowl to blend. 3 Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips. 4 Form the dough into a 12-inch long, 4-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes. 5 Place the log on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until crisp & dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely. 6 For the glaze, stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto one end of each biscotti and immediately sprinkle with the chopped toasted hazelnuts. Do this over the sink or over a second cookie sheet to avoid a mess! 7 Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes. 8 Recipe Notes:  The biscotti can be made ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.
