CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI (NO BUTTER)



Chocolate Biscotti (No Butter) image

This recipe is given in grams; it's from a BBC food show. The dough can feel a bit crumbly but it's no problem. These are really good and chocolaty. I like to roast my hazelnuts in the oven. You make them fast and you can eat more of them since there is no butter in them good for lactose intolerants!!

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in cocoa and baking powder. Beat for 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in flour by hand. Mix in white chocolate and chocolate chips. Cover dough, and chill for about 10 minutes.
