Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole shelled pistachio nuts or blanched almonds, lightly toasted
1 cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water. Stir until smooth.
  • Sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. In electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs on medium speed until lightened. Add vanilla. On low speed, add chocolate mixture, then flour mixture. Stir in nuts and raisins. Dough will be soft.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Form two 9-inch-long-by-3 1/2-inch-wide logs on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until dough sets, 30 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 275 degrees. Cut dough on diagonal into 1/2-inch slices; place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Turn over; bake 20 minutes, until slightly dry. Let cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

CHOCOLATE-PISTACHIO BISCOTTI

These twice-baked cookies from Tuscany are made for dipping in a robust cup of espresso, though milk or hot chocolate wouldn't be a bad choice either. If you can't find shelled pistachios, or balk at their hefty price tag, feel free to replace them with the nut of your choice (walnuts are a particularly lovely option).

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups shelled pistachios
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place the pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Roughly chop, then cool completely.
  • In a mixer, beat together the butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and egg yolk. Add the flour, sugar and baking powder and mix on low until a rough dough begins to form. Add the pistachios and chocolate chips and continue to mix. If the dough seems dry, add some cold water a teaspoon at a time. If the dough is too wet, add a pinch of flour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and knead gently to make sure the chocolate chips and pistachios are evenly distributed. Divide the dough in half, and shape each into a 10-by-3-inch log. Place onto one of the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Let the biscotti rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • Slice the logs into 3/4-inch pieces, and arrange them on the baking sheets, cut-side down. Bake until toasted and golden on top, about 25 minutes. Flip them over and continue to bake until dry and just barely golden brown, another 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Biscotti will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Walnut     Winter     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 30 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a large baking sheet.
  • In a bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well. Stir in flour mixture to form a stiff dough. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give you the best results. - Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape. - Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm. If they are too soft, they will be difficult to slice. - Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent them from crumbling. - Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
