  • Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • Beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the peanut butter mixture before adding the next.
  • Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the peanut butter chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
  • Roll each section into a 4x5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Transfer the dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI



Peanut Butter and Chocolate Biscotti image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 1/4 cups chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chunks (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position racks evenly in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally. Continue to cook until the butter browns and gets a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar while beating. Then slowly add the butter and vanilla until evenly mixed, about 30 seconds more. Add the peanut butter and mix until combined.
  • While mixing slowly, add the dry ingredients to the wet, in 2 additions, mixing just until absorbed. Fold in the peanuts and chocolate pieces.
  • Divide the dough evenly into thirds, and put each portion in the center of a baking sheet. Shape the dough with slightly wet hands into logs about 2-inches wide and 15 inches long. Bake until set and brown around the edges, about 25 to 30 minutes. (For even baking take care to rotate the pans-- top to bottom and front to back--about half way though.) Cool logs on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Cut logs crosswise, with a long serrated knife at about a 45 degree angle, into 1/2-inch thick cookies. Place cookies cut side down on the baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip the cookies over and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes more. Cool biscotti on the baking sheets. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use good quality peanut butter: This is the main ingredient in the biscotti, so make sure it's a brand and flavor that you enjoy. A creamy peanut butter will give you a smoother texture, while a chunky peanut butter will give you a more rustic texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then form the dough into a log and chill it before slicing and baking.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy texture.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the biscotti in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter biscotti are the perfect treat for peanut butter lovers. They are easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you are enjoying them with a cup of coffee or tea, or as a sweet snack, these biscotti are sure to please everyone.
