Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with nonstick spray; set aside.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar together; add eggs and almond extract to bowl and stir to combine.
Stir the dry and wet ingredients together, then fold in the almonds.
Use your hands to shape the dough into a large log (note: the dough will be sticky, so it may be helpful to coat your hands in flour beforehand), then place the log directly onto the baking sheet and sprinkle it with additional sliced almonds.
Bake biscotti for 30-35 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven and wait 5-10 minutes, then slice it into 1" pieces and place them cut side down onto the baking sheet. Place the biscotti back into the oven and bake it for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Last, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until it's smooth. Dip each piece of biscotti into the chocolate, then place it on a cooling rack. Allow 30 minutes for the chocolate to harden. Enjoy!
