Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the logs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch wide biscotti. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
• Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes on each side, or until dry and lightly browned. Let cool completely on wire racks.
