HEALTHY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI



Healthy Double Chocolate Biscotti image

These biscotti are perfect for any chocolate lover! They're crisp, crunchy, and completely packed with decadent dark chocolate flavor (similar to 72% dark chocolate!). These cookies taste incredible on their own, but they're also fun to dip in coffee, tea, or even hot chocolate for an extra chocolaty treat! Leftovers should keep for at least two weeks if stored in an airtight container, and they also freeze (and ship!) really well. This recipe is easily doubled to make more, too!

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup (90g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour
½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (96g) coconut sugar
2 tbsp (28g) finely diced dark chocolate ((see Notes!))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Stir in the coconut sugar. Add in the flour mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the diced dark chocolate.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet, and shape into a long and skinny rectangle that's 2 ¼" wide and ¾" tall using your hands or a spatula. (If the cookie dough sticks to your hands, rub them with a little neutral-tasting oil first!)
  • Bake at 350°F for 33-35 minutes. (The outside should be very dry and crusty!) Let the rectangle of baked cookie dough cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes (no more and no less!).
  • Transfer the rectangle of baked cookie dough to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the rectangle into ½"-thick strips (no wider!), working from one short end of the rectangle to the other. (Both diagonal strips and horizontal strips will work!) You should end up with cookies that are ½" thick, ¾" tall, and 2 ¼"+ wide.
  • Place the cookies onto the original baking sheet with one cut side facing down and the other cut side facing up. Bake at 350°F, flipping the cookies halfway through, for 6-8 minutes (for centers with just a bit of "give") or 12-16 minutes (for centers that are completely hard and dry). Cool completely to room temperature on the baking sheet.

Yield About 40 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for shaping
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Coat your hands with flour and shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees. While the logs are still warm, cut them on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place cut-side down on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Place on a rack and let cool completely.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 18 to 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon clear imitation vanilla
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Flaky salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk together the coconut oil and sugar in a separate large bowl. Whisk the eggs into the coconut oil mixture one at a time, and then the vanilla. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and then fold in the sprinkles.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment, divide the dough into 2 parts and form each part into a long rectangle, about 4 inches wide. Leave a few good inches in between the rectangles because they will spread in the oven. Sprinkle the tops with a few pinches of sea salt and bake until firm and just beginning to brown around the edges, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 250 degrees F. Use a serrated knife to cut the rectangles into 1-inch pieces and place them on the lined baking sheet cut-side down. Bake until crisp, about 20 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons anise seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups (11 ounces) almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 large eggs, plus 1 more, beaten, for brushing
