Units
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 3 cups mini chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. On a large cookie sheet, line with parchment paper or a silicone mat or grease with shortening/baking spray. Lightly dust with flour*; set aside.
- In large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until just blended.
- Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until just combined. Stir in 1 to 1 ½ cups of mini chocolate chips.
- Transfer dough to prepared baking pan and knead for 2 to 3 minutes or until dough holds together and chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
- Divide dough evenly in half for larger biscotti. For smaller biscotti, divide dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into a flattened rectangle with rounded ends. Do not cut loaves.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Transfer loaves to a cutting board and using a sharp bread knife, cut each loaf crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices cut side down on cookie sheet; bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove biscotti to a cooling rack to completely cool.
- Once cooled, in a small microwaveable bowl, microwave 1 ½ cups chocolate chips for 30 seconds, stir and microwave for another 15 seconds or until 75% of chocolate chips are melted, stir until completely melted. Dip bottoms of biscotti into the chocolate, sprinkle a few granules of sea salt over the melted chocolate; set aside to dry. ENJOY!
Notes
*Alternatively, you may lightly dust a clean and dry counter space to knead dough in Step 4.
