We’ve created a delicious, decadent version of these Italian favorites, adding almond meal and chocolate chips. The oven does the clever part, baking the loaves to golden perfection, then air frying the sliced cookies until perfectly crisp.
1Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 355°F, for 25 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
2Place the flour, ground almonds and baking powder in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
3Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
4Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix through.
5Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Divide into two portions and shape each portion into a loaf, approximately 11-inches long. Place the loaves in the parchment paper-lined roasting pan, evenly spaced so there is room for them to spread.
6Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
7The loaves should be golden brown. If not, cook them a little longer.
8Transfer the loaves to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 300°F, for 10 minutes and press Start.
9Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into approximately ¾-inch thick slices. Place half the slices, in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
10Place the basket in rack position 3 and cook for 10 minutes.
11The biscotti should be golden and feel dry to the touch. If not, cook for a few more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining slices.
12Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
