Easy Chocolate Dipped Biscotti Recipe

These biscotti are twice-baked to achieve their signature crunch and are then dipped in melted chocolate for a decadent finish. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields approximately 24 biscotti.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips for dipping
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Shape the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Slice the Biscotti: Once cooled, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Second Bake: Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp.
Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Cool: Place the dipped biscotti on a wire rack to cool and let the chocolate set.
