Chocolate Mint Biscotti image

This divine biscotti is full of chocolate flavor and has just enough of the refreshing mint flavor to give them a holiday flair.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/3 c sugar
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp mint or peppermint extract
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 pkg Andes mint chocolates, roughly chopped, 28 piece package
GARNISH
melted mint or semi-sweet chocolate drizzled
chopped Andes mints on top of drizzled chocolate
crushed peppermint on top of drizzled chocolate

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.

I found that these biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The chocolate flavor is really dominant, so the mint is just a subtle hint.

I love that these biscotti are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option than traditional biscotti, but they still taste amazing.

These biscotti are heavenly! The chocolate and mint flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is just right - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again and again.
