½ teaspoon almond extract or anise extract (optional)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped almonds
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. If you would like to add almond extract or anise extract, add it now. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.
  • Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to flatten the dough logs until they are about 3/4-inch thick. Gently press the sides and ends of the logs to even them out and flatten them.
  • If desired, sprinkle the logs with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden and the center of the logs is almost firm and bounces back when touched.
  • Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the logs into biscotti shape, on the diagonal. Press straight down with the knife, rather than sawing.
  • Place the biscotti, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 more minutes, until dry. The centers of the cookies will be slightly soft and will crisp as they cool.
  • Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for 3 months.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Biscotti Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by barbsjustagirl

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salted Caramel Chocolate Biscotti
February 14th, 2013
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
15 caramel candies, unwrapped and chopped small
sea salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together sugar, vanilla and eggs until white and creamy. In a separate bowl whisk together flours, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low, slowing add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just incorporated. Fold in caramels and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Divide dough in half and form into two 12 inch logs on prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly so logs are about 3/4 inch high. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 10 min. With a sharp knife, slice each log into 24 cookies. Lay biscotti down on the cut sides. Bake again for 10 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until biscotti are nicely dried. Allow to cool completely on wire racks. In a microwave safe bowl, place remaining chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir and microwave again for 15 seconds. Repeat, microwaving for 15 second intervals until chocolate is completely melted. Use a fork or spoon to dip in the melted chocolate and drizzle over biscotti. Sprinkle with sea salt. Allow chocolate to set (these can be popped into the fridge to speed the chocolate hardening process along). Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days. adapted from Cooking Light

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter and eggs for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the biscotti will be tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, or the biscotti will spread too much.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Caramel chip biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious cookies at home.
