5 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups cocoa powder
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips (try milk chocolate, white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate - or be adventurous and try peanut butter, mint, or raspberry!)
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Beat together sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth and add vanilla extract. Sift together the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape the dough into 6 longs loaves and brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Cut each loaf into 1 inch slices and place back on baking sheet. Reduce heat to 350 F and place slices back into the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate, and drizzle over the biscotti.

Would make this again.
Great recipe. My friend just asked me for it becaues she enjoyed the cookies so much! I made the loaves shorter/thicker, and cut them a bit larger than 1" slices when baking them the second time. The longer loaves burned when I baked them for 25 minutes, but the shorter/thicker ones came out just right. Can;t wait to make again!

FANTASTIC! I make them every year, and everyone is crazy for them. I use 3 kinds of chocolate to dribble on the top, and they're really delicious. They ARE a little hard to slice, but you just need to be patient and go carefully. A few crumble, but that's ok, 'cause the cook gets to eat the crumbs!

I just made these and the tops completely craked while baking and i couldnt even cut them into slices because they crumbled! Such a waste!

I don't know what happened, maybe I covercooked them, but they broke apart when I tried to cut them into 1" slices.
Tastes good though.
