This Chocolate Chip Biscotti Recipe creates extra crunchy and delicious cookies! Our recipe is loaded with crunchy slivered almonds and rich, velvety chocolate chips. These biscotti cookies pair perfectly with a hot cup of tea or fresh coffee.
I don’t know about you, but I really love to eat my chocolate chip biscotti with hot tea. They just pair so well with a black tea and are the perfect shape for dipping. Maybe it is my inner child coming up but I love to dip my biscotti. Crunchy biscotti and hot tea are the adult “cookies and milk”.
In the past, I have always bought my biscotti at the market. However, once I started baking my own, I never looked back. You really can’t beat homemade cookies!
Ingredients
To make homemade Almond Chocolate Chip Biscotti, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Making the Biscotti
This recipe is easier than it looks. Here is how the process goes. The full recipe steps are in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Note: A stand mixer is not required to make this recipe, but is recommended.
Start by mixing the butter, sugar, eggs, extract, and salt in the mixer. Reduce mixer speed. Slowly add the baking powder, and flour to the mixer.
Once the dough is fully mixed, fold in the almonds and chocolate chips.
I divided the dough into two floured balls.
Then, I added a piece of parchment paper to my counter, and an extra piece to put over the balls of dough to cleanly roll them out.
Bake the dough for 22 minutes at 350F. It should have golden brown edges like the picture below.
Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 mins Carefully slice the loaves into 1 1/2 inch biscotti.
Return to a 300 degree oven and bake each side for 15 mins. Once done, add to a wire rack and allow them to cool.
The end result is the tastiest biscotti I have ever had. I think you will agree!
If you like your biscotti not too crunchy, then you would love this recipe. I found the consistency to have the perfect amount of moisture, and crunch.
They paired well with my hot cup of tea I enjoyed afterwards.
How to Store Biscotti
Make sure your cut biscotti are completely cooled before putting them in an air-tight container. These will go really quickly because they are so delicious, but they do keep for up to 2 weeks in a dry, air-tight container.

I can’t eat almonds unfortunately. However the Straight up Snapple Ice tea is right up my alley.
I need a day with my girlfriends. Chatting over tea and biscotti sounds like a lovely way to enjoy each other’s company.
Ooh I have never seen how these are made, love how they came out. Yumm!!
I made these cookies they came out delicious!! ? That I’m making another batch.
I have made these twice and ea time they are pretty crumbly, like fall apart a little when I first cut them and then when I try to flip them over. Is that just how they are?
Hello,
Mine are not crumbly at all. I am not sure what could be causing this issue.
Just made it! Super easy instructions to follow. Very lovely !
First time I made these they were crumbly when I sliced. They were delicious nevertheless I made them again but changed up how I mixed them. I creamed the butter and sugar first then added the eggs .Followed the recipe as written and found this worked out well
