Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 3 large eggs fresh
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- ½ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk in the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together until evenly mixed.
- Place the eggs, sugars, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients and continue to mix until a stiff dough forms. Add the dark chocolate and almonds and mix until they are incorporated into the dough.
- Divide the dough in half and place the balls of dough on a cutting board dusted lightly with flour or cocoa powder. Roll each ball out into a log roughly 9 inches long by 2 inches wide.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet, then press down on the top of the logs to flatten them slightly.
Let's bake 'em!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm to touch. As they cook, the logs will spread out slightly.
- Remove from the oven and cool them on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then transfer the logs to a cutting board and using a serrated knife, cut them on a diagonal into ½-inch slices.
- Arrange the slices upright on the baking sheet and place them back in the oven to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until crispy.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
