  2. You will need 2 medium/large bowls. Into one bowl sift the first 5 ingredients.
  3. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and orange zest until thick and creamy.
  4. Mix the chcolate chips into the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and mix well until you achieve a sticky, firm dough. Divide the dough into two.
  5. With wet hands,shape each piece of dough into a even, flat sausage. Please them on the baking sheet with a bit of space between the two.
  6. Bake them for 25 minutes in the centre of the oven. After 25 minutes, remove the tray and let them cool a bit (about 5 - 10 minutes). Keep the oven on.
  7. Using a serrated edge knife, cut the biscotti into 1cm slices. Place these back on the tray, upright or flat, and put the tray back into the oven. Switch off the oven and leave the biscotti in there until cold. When they have cooled totally in the oven, they will be very dense and crisp. Perfect with a cup of coffee!
