FANTASTIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE-PECAN BISCOTTI



Fantastic Double Chocolate-Pecan Biscotti image

Since biscotti is a huge favorite at my house I am always searching for good biscotti recipes, this one is fantastic! --- if you make biscotti and love chocolate, then this is a recipe you should try! --- since the batter is quite stiff this dough is best prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer, the recipe can be completely doubled to make four logs, they will keep tightly covered at room temperature for one week, or frozen for one month, feel free to use any other chopped nuts that you desired, walnuts work great with this also :)

Provided by Tish Boyle, The Good Cookie

Categories     Cookies, Cakes, Pies and Desserts

Time 55m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup pecans, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
***Topping
1 large egg beaten with 1 teaspoon of water
3 tablespoons of coarse sugar such as turbinado sugar or raw sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper. I used a 15 X 21 inch baking sheet. If your baking sheet is smaller, use 2 baking sheets.
  • Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside. Measure out the pecans and chop into coarse pieces using a knife. Measure out the chocolate chips. Reserve both ingredients.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the oil with the sugar, at medium speed until well blended.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Shut off the mixer. Add the dry ingredients. Pulse with an on-off motion until the dry ingredients are no longer visible (about 10 times). Stir in the reserved pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough in half and wetting your hands with water, shape each half into a log about 12 by 2 1/2 inches right on the parchment lined-baking sheet(s). Brush the top of each log with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar or raw sugar. Bake at 350 F. for 30 minutes on the middle rack in the oven.
  • Remove the baking pan and allow the biscotti logs to cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 F. Carefully transfer each biscotti log to a cutting surface and slice on the diagonal into pieces 1/2 inch wide. Place the pieces of biscotti cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscotti to rest until completely cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
