How to Make My Chocolate Dipped Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients 

• 6 tbsp butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• melting chocolate
• sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In the bowl of your stand mixer, mix together the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder until creamy. 

Beat in the eggs.

Add the flour and mix flour on low (dough will be sticky).

Scoop the biscotti dough onto the sheet pan and pat it into a long log shape and a few inches wide to get ready for the first bake.

Bake 20 to 30 minutes on your prepared baking sheet. Remove and let cool for about a half hour. 

Reduce the oven heat to 325°F.

Transfer the biscotti to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, lightly slice into thick slices about 1/2″ wide. Place slices onto the baking sheet. 

Bake for a second time, an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.

Let your biscotti cookies cool before dipping in chocolate. 

In the microwave, melt your chocolate in 30 second intervals in a heatproof bowl.

Dip the crunchy biscotti in melted chocolate and add sprinkles. 

Let the chocolate coating dry on a flat surface like a wire rack.

Store in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature. 

How to Change the Flavor of Your Biscotti

The best part about Biscotti is how versatile they are! You can swap out the vanilla extract for almond flavor, lemon zest, orange zest, maple syrup, or add chocolate chips, pine nuts and chopped almonds or whole almonds to your favorite biscotti recipe. Swap out the chocolate for white chocolate or dark chocolate.
