Biscotti is a type of cookie that originated in Italy and can be eaten alone or served as an accompaniment to coffee or tea or dipped in wine.
The word “biscotti” means “twice-baked,” referring to the process of making this cookie twice – once as dough and again after it has been shaped into logs, baked, cooled, and baked again.
I have a crispy, crunchy biscotti recipe for you today.
This biscotti recipe includes chocolate chunks, whole roasted almonds, vanilla, and amaretto liquor.
List of Ingredients You Will Need:
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature soft (optional)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon Amaretto Liquor
1 cup whole almonds, toasted
1 cup chocolate chunks
Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl, then beat on low for 3 minutes.
- Add one egg at a time until thoroughly combined.
- Add in vanilla extract and amaretto liquor. Mix well.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Add almonds and chocolate chunks and mix.
- Divide dough in half and shape each half into a log about 2 inches high and 8 inches wide on a parchment-lined baking sheet (use flour to keep your hands from sticking).
- Once you have shaped the biscotti logs, place them in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm to the touch.
- Remove biscotti logs from the oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees.
- Let biscotti logs sit for 5 minutes, then slice diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Place biscotti slices cut side up on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake for another 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees or until biscotti are slightly golden brown along the edges.
Let biscotti cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
