Mix flour, salt, baking powder, cardamom, and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until blended. Add the sugar and mix until completely incorporated.
Mix in the flour mixture, then fold in the dried figs, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. With wet hands, shape the dough into a log 12" long and 2½ to 3" wide.
Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. While the log is cooling, reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
Gently transfer the log onto a cutting board. Using a bread knife, slice the log crosswise into 12 equal portions.
Evenly space the biscotti on baking sheet and bake for another 20 minutes.
Cool completely before eating. The biscotti will harden as they cool.

Figs are my favorite fruit, but if I used fresh figs, they would retain too much moisture. This would prevent the biscotti from getting crispy enough. Luckily, dehydrated figs are the perfect solution and are available year-round.
Walnuts are one of my favorite nuts to use in baked goods. As a matter of fact, I can resist most baked goods as long as they don't contain nuts. Walnuts are also very nutritious and high in antioxidants and healthy omega-3 fats. If you prefer, you can use pistachios, almonds, or your favorite nut.
Chocolate, who doesn't love it? I couldn't resist adding white chocolate chips to this recipe. With the combination of figs, walnuts, cardamom, and chocolate, do you blame me for calling this recipe the "Best Biscotti Recipe?"
Make sure the biscotti loaves are completely cool before you slice them. A serrated bread knife works best.
