Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 14

•2 cups of all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur's)
•½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Wilbur)
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•6 tablespoons of butter (I use Smart Balance baking stick)
•¾ cup of granulated sugar
•2 eggs
•1 teaspoon peppermint extract
•½-3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips for the biscotti
•Topping:
•20 candy canes (crushed)
•1 cup of melted chocolate (dark)
•½ teaspoon peppermint extract
•½ teaspoon canola oil

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2.Line your baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. 3.In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, cocoa, soda and salt. 4.Whisk to combine. 5.In your stand mixer, paddle attachment on, blend the sugar and butter for 2-3 minutes. 6.Then add the eggs. 7.Blend. 8.And finally the extract. 9.Add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend. 10.This is a very firm dough. 11.Once combined, add the chocolate chips and mix by hand or with the mixer. 12.Separate the dough into two equal halves. 13.Then form a long log like shape that you flatten a bit. 14.It should measure about 12 or so inches long. 15.I like to make these smaller biscotti because they are very decadent with the chocolate coating. 16.Then repeat. 17.Place both logs onto your baking sheet and bake for 34-36 minutes or until firm. 18.Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. 19.Then place on a cutting board and with a serrated knife, slice ½ thick pieces on a diagonal. 20.Place them back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 12 minutes or until toasted nicely. 21.Melt your chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, keeping a watchful eye so it doesn't burn. 22.Add the oil and mix until creamy and smooth. 23.Add the peppermint pieces to a bowl and set aside. 24.Once the biscotti are done toasting. 25.Dip one end of your cookie into the chocolate. 26.Let the excess drip off. 27.Then sprinkle some peppermint pieces over the melted chocolate. 28.Place on a drying rack to set up. 29.Once the chocolate has firmed up, store in a tupperware container with a lid for up to 4-5 days. 30.Enjoy!

These biscotti were a complete disaster! They were burnt and the flavor was terrible. I do not recommend this recipe.

Not a fan. The biscotti were too hard and the flavor was bland.

These biscotti were a bit too minty for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try a different flavor combination next time.

The biscotti turned out a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some nuts or dried fruit next time.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I would cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but these biscotti were still really good. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the biscotti were perfectly crispy.

These biscotti turned out so delicious! The chocolate and peppermint flavors were perfectly balanced, and the biscotti were the perfect texture - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again!
