Provided by Chef Glaucia

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 18 biscotti, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or 10 drops peppermint oil )
1 teaspoon espresso coffee (or 1 tsp soluble coffee dissolved in 1 tsp warm water )
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 lb milk chocolate, melted (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and eggs on med. speed for 1 minute.
  • Add vanilla, espresso coffee and peppermint extract ( or oil ). Beat until combined.
  • Add chocolate chips.
  • Stir in combined flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Shape the dough in a 16-inch long log on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Flatten the log until about 2-inches thick.
  • Bake the log for 25 minutes in a 350°F preheated oven.
  • Cool for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the log to a cutting board and using a serrated knife, cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Bake slices in a 325°F oven for 15 minutes ( I usually turn off the oven and let them cool in ).
  • Transfer to wire rack and drizzle melted milk chocolate over them, if desired.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your biscotti. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape better when baking.
  • Bake the biscotti twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help them to dry out and become crispy.
  • Dip the biscotti in chocolate: Dipping the biscotti in chocolate is a great way to add extra flavor and richness. You can use melted dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even peppermint chocolate.

Conclusion:

Double chocolate peppermint biscotti are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can have these biscotti ready to enjoy in no time. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
