I want to make this biscuit for a long time, but I have always felt that my teeth are not good. I'm afraid I won't like this biscuit that has been baked for nearly an hour and all the water has evaporated and can only grind the teeth. But every time I see others making this classic Italian biscuits, the beauty of soaking in coffee or milk is always seduced. The original nut shortbread is actually very fragrant, and the chocolate-flavored shortbread exudes a rich and mellow chocolate aroma during the baking process. And chocolate with nuts is good every time.
The biscuits taste very good. The only regret is that you didn’t pay attention to the time during the first baking process. The baked ones are a bit overcooked. In fact, when they are half-ripe, it’s ideal to slice them while hot. Easy to cut apart. Another lesson is that you must have a sharp knife.

Chocolate Nut Shortbread

1. Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a bowl, beat evenly with a whisk, mix the milk with the beaten eggs, pour into the butter in portions, and beat with a whisk to form a paste

2. Flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda are mixed and then sift into the batter. Use a spatula to mix evenly to form a batter. Pour the chopped almonds and walnuts into the noodles (walnuts need to be roasted at 150 degrees in advance until they are fragrant)

3. Cut and mix evenly with a spatula, put the batter directly on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, and shape it into a long strip by hand

4. Preheat at 160°C and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit dough is fully expanded and the surface becomes a little hard. Take it out of the oven, let it cool for a while, use a knife to cut into 1.2cm thick slices, and place the biscuit slices on the baking tray with the cut side up. Put it in a preheated 130℃ oven, bake for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits become crispy, and they are ready to be eaten after being cooled.

Tips:
1. The nuts can be replaced with any nuts you like. If it is raw, it needs to be roasted in advance;
2. Bake for the first time and bake it to 7 minutes. If you don't like too hard taste, you can slightly reduce the time for the second baking.
