Chocolate Chip Biscotti Recipe

Enjoy these crunchy and chocolatey biscotti that are ideal for dipping in your favorite coffee or tea. The crispiness is achieved through the double baking process.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms

Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it in half

Shape each half into a 12-inch long log and place them on the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden

Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for about 15 minutes

Reduce the oven temperature to 325F 165C

Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti

Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven

Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving
