Double-Chocolate Biscotti

So simple and satisfying and only 100 calories for two slices!

INGREDIENTS

2/3 c flour

1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 c granulated sugar

1/2 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

2 large eggs

1/2 t almond extract

1 t vegetable oil

1/3 c chocolate chips

cooking spray

water if needed*

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, almond extract, and oil. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. 

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Use your hands to shape the dough into a log about 4 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches tall. *The dough will be dry- only just wet enough to bind when it is packed into the log. If it is too dry and falling apart, add just enough water that the dough adheres to itself

Bake for 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven, and let cool 10 minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice the biscotti into 1/2 to 1 inch slices. Leave a centimeter of space between each slice and return the sheet to the oven. Bake another 25 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.
