**Gluten-Free Chocolate Biscotti**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log (about 10 inches long) on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
7. Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
8. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Carefully transfer the baked logs to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch thick slices.
9. Place the sliced biscotti back onto the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and dry.
10. Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
