(CHOCOLATE) CHERRY PECAN BISCOTTI



(Chocolate) Cherry Pecan Biscotti image

Everybody I've ever made these for have loved them. I've made them with marshmellows before too... but that didn't really work out too well hehehe. In the picture the lighter biscottis don't have the cocoa powder in them and the darker ones do. (I like them without cocoa better but that's just me.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate chips will give the cookies a richer flavor, while milk chocolate chips will be sweeter.
  • Be sure to use fresh cherries. Canned or frozen cherries will not work as well.
  • If you don't have pecans, you can use walnuts or another type of nut.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.

These double chocolate cherry pecan cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences.
