Espresso Chocolate Chip Biscotti image

These crisp, chocolate-studded biscotti are good the day you bake them, but they taste even better the next day. For a double coffee hit, serve with a coffee affogato, coffee ice cream or a shot of anise liqueur, like Sambuca.

Time 2h20m

Yield 22 to 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup turbinado sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 1/2 tablespoons espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon anise seed, lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini dark chocolate chunks (4 1/2 ounces)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix together the flour, sugars, espresso powder, baking soda, anise seed, salt and chocolate chunks in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together (it will be fairly dry before you knead it). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, squeezing it and pressing it against the surface, until you can form it into a ball, 15 to 20 times. Shape the dough into a flat log about 16 inches long and 2 inches wide. Cut the log in half crosswise. Brush the tops with a little bit of water and sprinkle the top and sides with some turbinado sugar.
  • Place the logs side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Transfer the logs to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-inch slices. Place the cookies cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake until golden on the other side, 8 to 10 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The centers will be slightly soft at first, but will crisp up as they cool.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I will use less sugar.

These biscotti were delicious! I used dark chocolate chips and they turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

These biscotti were a bit dry, but they were still good. I think next time I will add more butter.
