How to Make a Chocolate Biscotti Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Toast almond slices--watch them closely, it only takes about 2 minutes to toast.
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, coffee, baking powder, and salt; mix and set aside.
Whisk the eggs, rum, and extracts until blended well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, including toasted almond slices, and mix until combined.
Dough will be sticky at this point.
Scrape the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Quickly shape with wooden spoon into a long flat loaf.
Bake about 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Remove from the oven and cool 10-15 minutes.
Lower oven heat to 300 degrees F.
Slice loaf into 1/2" wide slices.
Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Turn the slices over and bake 10 minutes more.
Cool the biscotti on a rack.
Cool completely before storing, or they'll lose crunchiness!

Serve biscotti up with some coffee or hot tea for a tasty treat.
And that's it, man.
