Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325° F. In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- 2. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter, eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract until mixed.
- 3. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture and beat just until blended.
- 4. Roughly chop Andes mints.
- 5. Incorporate semi-sweet chocolate chips and roughly chopped Andes mints until combined.
- 6. Divide dough in half. On parchment paper lined large cookie sheet, shape each half into 12" by 3" log, about 3 inches apart.
- 7. Bake logs 30 minutes.
- 8. Cool logs on cookie sheet on wire rack 15 minutes.
- 9. Place logs on cutting board. With serrated knife, cut each log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. With long metal spatula, place slices, top side up, 1/4 inch apart, on same cookie sheet. Bake slices 20 minutes more to allow biscotti to dry out. Cool biscotti completely on cookie sheet on wire rack. (Biscotti will harden as they cool.) Store biscotti in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or in freezer up to 6 months.
- 10. The additional 20 minute baking time is optional but do lay cookies to dry. Drizzle with chocolate of choice. Add crushed mint chocolate candies or crushed peppermint candies or shake some powdered sugar atop.

Steps:
- Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
- Combine eggs, egg white and crème de menthe, stirring well with a wire whisk.
- Slowly add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring by hand until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Mixture will be very stiff.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour evenly over work surface.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead lightly about 7 or 8 times.
- Divide dough in half; shape each half into an 8-inch log.
- Place logs, 4 inches apart, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 325° for 40 minutes; remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Carefully cut each log diagonally into 15 (12/-inch) slices and place, cut sides down, on baking sheet.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300° and bake for 18 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the biscotti will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown. Underbaked biscotti will be soft and chewy, while overbaked biscotti will be hard and dry.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing. This will help them keep their shape.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
