Number Of Ingredients 16

CHOCOLATE DOUGH
1/2 c butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
3 eggs
3 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 /4 c cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
PEANUT BUTTER DOUGH
3/4 c crunchy peanut butter
1 c sugar
3 eggs
3 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
coating chocolate

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Chocolate dough: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.
  • 3. Cream together butter and sugar.
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time; mixing well after each addition.
  • 5. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time to the creamed mixture mixing well after each addition.
  • 6. The dough will be stiff.
  • 7. For peanut butter dough: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • 8. Cream together peanut butter and sugar.
  • 9. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
  • 10. Mix in 1/3 of flour mixture at a time, mixing well after each addition. Note: You may not have to add all of the flour. Dough will be dry.
  • 11. If it is too dry and crumbly, knead in a tablespoon (more or less) of water until the dough just comes together.
  • 12. Divide both the chocolate and the peanut butter dough into 2 equal halves.
  • 13. On a floured surface (I use cocoa), shape half of the chocolate dough into a flat rectangle, about 15 inches long and 5 inches wide.
  • 14. Shape peanut butter dough into a log, a little shorter than the chocolate log, and about 2-3 inches wide.
  • 15. Place in the middle of the chocolate log and gently fold the chocolate dough up over the peanut butter dough.
  • 16. You want to wrap the peanut butter dough completely with the chocolate dough. Repeat with the other dough.
  • 17. Place the 2 logs on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • 18. Flatten slightly. You want a log about 15 inches long, 4 inches wide and 1 - 1 1/2 inches high.
  • 19. Bake 30 - 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • 20. Remove from oven to a cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • 21. Slice diagonally into 1/2" - 3/4" slices.
  • 22. Place slices on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake a second time for 20-25 minutes.
  • 23. Remove from baking sheet to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • 24. Melt coating chocolate according to package directions.
  • 25. Coat one side of cooled biscotti with the chocolate.
  • 26. Allow to set. (If you prefer, you could drizzle the chocolate over the biscotti.)
