                               1 2/3 cups sugar 
                               1 teaspoon baking powder 
                               3 large eggs 
                               3 large egg yolks 
                               1 tablespoon almond extract 
                               3/4 cup hazelnuts, skin on

                               Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

                               In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, sugar and baking powder.

                               Add wet mix to dry and stir until the dough comes together, about 2
                               minutes. Add hazelnuts and chocolate chips and mix until just
                               incorporated. Roll the dough into 3 logs each about 10 by 2 inches.

                               Place in oven and bake 20 minutes until light golden brown and remove.
                               Allow to cool 5 minutes and cut logs on a slight diagonal into pieces
                               1/2-inch thick. Lower heat to 300. Return cut biscotti to baking sheet,
                               just a little bit apart from each other, and place in oven. Bake 20
                               minutes until crisp and dry. Cool and serve.
