Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Dissolve coffee crystals in the hot water.
- Beat butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and coffee in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with a spoon.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- On an ungreased cookie sheet or parchment paper, shape the dough into two 10x3 rectangles (each should be about 3/4 to 1 inch thick).
- Bake about 30 minutes or until center is firm to the touch.
- Cool 15 minutes on the cookie sheet.
- Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Place slices cut side down, in rows on a cookie sheet. (can be touching to fit them all on the sheet).
- Bake 7-8 minutes, then flip them over and bake another 7-8 minutes. The edges should be light brown and the biscotti should be crisp when done.
- Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack.
- When completely cool, melt the chocolate and shortening together (either in the microwave (but be careful not to over heat it or it will scorch) or in a heat-safe bowl over a pot of boiling water (for a quasi double-boiler)).
- Drizzle the chocolate over the biscotti using a spoon.
- When cool, enjoy with a cup of coffee.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your biscotti will taste. Use real butter, dark chocolate, and freshly brewed coffee for the best results.
- Make sure your dough is cold before slicing: This will help the biscotti to keep their shape in the oven. If your dough is too warm, it will spread out and become thin and crispy.
- Slice the biscotti thinly: This will help them to bake evenly. If you slice them too thickly, they will be chewy in the center.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through. If you underbake them, they will be soft and doughy, and if you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate to set properly. If you dip the biscotti in chocolate while they are still warm, the chocolate will melt and run off.
Conclusion:
These chocolate-coated mocha biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for serving with coffee or tea, or for enjoying as a snack. With their rich chocolate flavor and hint of coffee, these biscotti are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
