Ingredients⚓︎
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips, cranberries
- (Optional) 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Recipe⚓︎
- In the large glass or metal bowl, beat the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and creamy
- Beat in the eggs and add the flour until smooth. Will be sticky
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until uniform
- Preheat oven to 350
- Place parchment paper on or lightly grease a baking sheet
- Divide the dough in half and with wet hands, shape into two logs 2 in wide, 10 in long, and about 1 in thick
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, remove
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes, then carefully transfer to a cutting board
- Preheat oven to 325
- Cover logs with a damp towel and wait another ~5 min before using a serrated knife to diagonally slice into 1/2” - 3/4” wide biscotti
- Make sure to saw the knife back and forth. Putting too much vertical pressure with the knife can cause the biscotti to crumble
- Return the slices to the baking sheet, standing them up with 1/2” space between them so that air can circulate
- Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until they feel very dry and are beginning to turn golden
- Transfer to a rack to cool
