Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 

1 cup sugar 

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

3/4 cup shelled unsalted pistachios 

4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped 

3 large eggs 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir in pistachios and chocolate. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, vanilla, and cocoa. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined (dough will be stiff, so mix with hands if necessary).

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Divide dough in half and place on sheet. Shape into two 2 1/2-by-12-inch logs and sprinkle top of each with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until risen and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Let logs cool completely on sheet, about 30 minutes.

Reduce oven to 300 degrees. Using a serrated knife, cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake until biscotti are dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
