Time 2h40m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup crunchy peanut butter (such as Jif® Extra Crunchy)
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • Beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the peanut butter mixture before adding the next.
  • Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the peanut butter chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
  • Roll each section into a 4x5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Transfer the dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
  • Place biscotti loaves on wire racks to cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Cut each loaf into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Return the slices to the baking sheets with the cut sides up.
  • Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes on each side.
  • Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
  • Dip the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Set the biscotti onto parchment paper, and allow to set, about 20 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI



Peanut Butter and Chocolate Biscotti image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 1/4 cups chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chunks (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position racks evenly in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally. Continue to cook until the butter browns and gets a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar while beating. Then slowly add the butter and vanilla until evenly mixed, about 30 seconds more. Add the peanut butter and mix until combined.
  • While mixing slowly, add the dry ingredients to the wet, in 2 additions, mixing just until absorbed. Fold in the peanuts and chocolate pieces.
  • Divide the dough evenly into thirds, and put each portion in the center of a baking sheet. Shape the dough with slightly wet hands into logs about 2-inches wide and 15 inches long. Bake until set and brown around the edges, about 25 to 30 minutes. (For even baking take care to rotate the pans-- top to bottom and front to back--about half way though.) Cool logs on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Cut logs crosswise, with a long serrated knife at about a 45 degree angle, into 1/2-inch thick cookies. Place cookies cut side down on the baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip the cookies over and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes more. Cool biscotti on the baking sheets. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to slice and will help the biscotti hold their shape while baking.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown: The biscotti should be golden brown on the outside and slightly soft on the inside.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing: The biscotti will be easier to slice and will hold their shape better if you let them cool completely before slicing.
