Ingredients

For the Biscotti Dough:

• ½ cup softened butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 12 oz mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a mixer bowl, add the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat at medium speed for about 1 minute until creamy.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined (about 1 minute).

5. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 2: Shape and Bake the First Round

1. Divide the dough into two portions and shape them into two 10″ x 2″ logs.

2. Place the logs on a lined or greased baking sheet.

3. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown.

4. Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Slice and Bake Again

1. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

2. Slice each log into about ½-inch slices (you should get 18–20 slices per log).

3. Place the slices on the same cookie sheet, spacing them out evenly.

4. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 15 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 4: Cool and Store

1. Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool on a wire rack.

2. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.

Tips and Tricks

• Perfectly Crunchy: To get your biscotti extra crunchy, make sure you bake them twice. The second bake at a lower temperature ensures that they dry out and become crisp.

• Flavor Variations: Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate, or even add chopped nuts to the dough.

• Dipping: These biscotti are perfect for dipping into coffee, tea, or even dessert wines like Vin Santo.
