Nutella Biscotti recipe

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup hazelnuts (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Using an electric mixer, beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar and continue beating on high setting for 2 minutes. Beat in Nutella. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts, if using.
Divide dough into 2 or 3 logs with well floured hands and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press logs into rectangles roughly 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for 20 minutes. Remove logs from oven.

Turn oven temperature down to 300 degrees F.

Using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/3-1/2 inch slices. Arrange on baking sheet and return to oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, turn biscotti over and bake an additional 10-12 minutes (depending upon the thickness of your slices). Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.
