👨🍳 Recipe Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat butter and sugar until well-blended.
- Add eggs and almond extract; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the butter mixture, beating until smooth.
- Dough will be thick; stir in chopped almonds using a wooden spoon.
- Shape the dough into two 11-inch-long rolls.
- Place rolls 3 to 4 inches apart on a large ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until rolls are set. Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices using a sawing motion.
- Arrange slices, cut sides down, close together on the cookie sheet. Bake for an additional 8 to 9 minutes.
- Turn slices over and bake for another 8 to 9 minutes; cool on the cookie sheet on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Chocolate Glaze by melting 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth when stirred. This will yield about 1 cup of glaze.
- Dip the end of each biscotti in the chocolate glaze or drizzle the glaze over the entire cookie.
- Prepare the White Glaze by melting 1/4 cup white chips and 1 teaspoon shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) for 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth when stirred. This will yield about 1/4 cup of glaze.
- Drizzle the White Glaze over the chocolate glaze for a beautiful dual-tone effect.
- Garnish with additional almonds if desired.
Now, savor the blissful combination of chocolate and almonds in each crunchy bite of these decadent biscotti. 🍫🌰 Perfect for sharing or indulging in a cozy evening treat, these Chocolate Almond Biscotti are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy the baking adventure! 🎉👨🍳
