Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup dried cherries
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric beater until fluffy.
  4. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until incorporated.
  5. Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir with a spatula until fully combined.
  6. Incorporate the chocolate chunks and cherries.
  7. Turn the mixture onto a floured work surface and knead it into a smooth ball.
  8. Slice the ball in half and roll each half into a log about 10 inches long. Gently pat the tops down to flatten them, making an oblong shape.
  9. Add the flattened logs to a baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 35 minutes, until hard to touch. If in doubt, overbake slightly.
  10. Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes, until hardened slightly and cool enough to handle.
  11. Slice the biscotti diagonally and place the pieces on their sides back onto the parchment-lined sheet tray.
  12. Bake until crisp, 10 minutes. Cool completely, then serve.
