Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole pistachios
- 2 oz butter
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened good quality cocoa powder
Instructions
- 1
Begin by setting your oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- 3
Stir in the pistachios and ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- 4
In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar at medium speed for a duration of 1.5 minutes.
- 5
Incorporate the eggs into the mixture one at a time, allowing each to fully blend before adding the next.
- 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
- 7
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and, with your hands, split it into two or three portions. Shape each piece into long, flat logs measuring approximately 8 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width.
- 8
Arrange the formed logs on the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
- 9
Once they are cool enough to handle, carefully slice the loaves diagonally into ½ inch thick pieces using a serrated knife for best results. Return the slices to the baking sheet, arranging as many as will fit; you may need to do this in multiple batches.

Bake the biscotti slices for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on each side, adjusting the time if you prefer a softer texture. This recipe yields about 24 biscotti.
