Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until frothy.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into two logs, each about 12 inches long.
  6. Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until firm and cracked slightly on top.
  7. Allow them to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Use a serrated knife to slice the logs diagonally into ¾-inch thick pieces.
  9. Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  10. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
