Choc Chip Biscotti.

I’ve made this recipe twice now, and I have to say it’s freaking delicious! It’s sooooo good, and sooooo hard to stop at one. They good news is that they’ll last up to three weeks in an airtight container – if you can keep your grubby mitts off them for that long. Enjoy.

2 cup plain white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
30 g dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla essence

Preheat oven to 160°C.
Line a tray with baking paper.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
Stir in chocolate and set aside.
Beat sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large bowl with electric beaters for 2 minutes or until thick and creamy. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Pour in egg mixture and stir until mixture forms a dough.
Shape dough into a 20cm x 6cm log. Place onto baking paper.
Bake log in oven for 30 minute. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven to 150°C.
Cut warm log crosswise on a slight diagonal into 1cm thick slices. Carefully place slices about 2cms apart on baking tray. Return to oven for 12 minutes until light golden brown. The centers will still be soft, but biscotti will crisp when cooled.
Serves 20.

It’s hard to cut the slices. I haven’t perfected that, yet. Let me know if you find out an easy way to do it. I need all the tips I can get. x

  1. Caster sugar is confectionary sugar in the US 🙂

    Looks yum ‘Telle! – might give it a whirl, I reckon it would be nice with pistachios and a bit more of vanilla too? Or perhaps cranberries and pistacchios? mmm it’s getting me hungry.

    With the slicing, try a bread(serated) knife? xx

  2. im supposed to be on a health kick and your posting about chocbiscotii and im posting about cheesecake! this isnt good!
    even if its 1.5 points i think chocolate and carbs cant be good for me. especially because it wont stop at 1 serve. especially if they are warm. if i go anywhere near warm cookies i will eat the whole batch!
