Biscotti Bites image

Get the irresistible crunch of traditionally twice-baked biscotti from a single quick stint in the oven by scooping the dough into bite-size mounds. These poppers have the same silky chocolate dip as the classics sold in coffee shops but offer surprising add-ins (think grapefruit zest and shredded coconut).

Time 2h5m

Yield Makes 100 bite-size cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups fine cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons finely grated grapefruit zest (from 2 small grapefruits)
11 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add granulated sugar and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Then beat in coconut, grapefruit zest, and 5 ounces chocolate until evenly distributed.
  • Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough, spaced 1 inch apart, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets set on wire racks.
  • Melt remaining chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Dip bottoms of cooled cookies in melted chocolate, scrape off excess against rim of bowl, and set on parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. The dipped cookies can be stored in a single layer in a cool place for up to a week.

These biscotti bites are a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I still enjoyed these biscotti bites. The orange zest really shines through.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti bites to brown evenly. Other than that, they were delicious.

These biscotti bites were a delightful treat! They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The orange zest and cranberries added a nice burst of flavor.
