Espresso Chocolate Biscotti

This time, the taste of my cookie is very intense!

Because of both coffee and chocolate that we put (a lot of it) into the cookie, I think that both coffee and chocolate lovers will love this cookie too. 

From the method of the biscotti, that we have to bake it twice, some of you might think that it's too complicated to make, but I can say that it's not! Plus, when you bake the cookie twice, it will be dry, and make it very suitable for use as a gift. 

And not all biscotti is hard, it depends on the formula, if you add enough of the fat, even you bake it 2 times, your biscotti won't become too hard or too dry. 
I put a lot of chocolate chips into my biscotti, but you can use less of it or replace it with other kinds of chocolate or nuts, it will be delicious too. 

A new year is coming, this year, there is too much bad news, and I think that we have enough of them. I hope that next year, we will get a lot of happy news!!!
