Chocolate Biscotti (No Butter) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 pinch salt
130 g sugar
150 g flour
50 g fine cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
100 g chopped nuts (hazelnuts or pecans are my favourites)
100 g good quality dark chocolate, chopped

Preparation

Cream together the eggs with a pinch of sugar until frothy using an electric mixer.
Spoon in the sugar little by little to make a pale yellow batter.
Sift together flour, cocoa and baking powder; fold carefully into the egg mixture.
Fold in nuts and chocolate.
Chill for about 20 minutes.
Flour hands and divide the dough into two.
Form into logs in the length of an oven tray.
Bake for 5 minutes in a 175\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) oven.
Lower the temperature to 150\u00b0C (300\u00b0F) and bake for 15 minutes.
Cut into pieces about 1/2-inch.
Dry them in the oven for 15 minutes.
When cool, store in an airtight tin.
