MOLLY O'NEILL'S CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in the almonds. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, yolks, sugar and orange zest. Add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Coat your hands with flour and shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
• Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees. While the logs are still warm, cut them on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place cut-side down on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Place on a rack and let cool completely.
