How To Make Chocolate Walnut Biscotti Cookies
It's easy to make the perfect chocolate walnut biscotti every time! Perfect for dunking in coffee, milk, or hot chocolate, these biscotti will make you feel like you're in Italy.
Step 2: Pre-Heat
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C, Gas Mark 4).
Step 3: Dry Ingredients
Stir flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl to combine.
Step 4: Mix
In another bowl, mix eggs, egg whites, and vanilla extract, then add your flour mixture. If you're using a mixer, use a low setting and add flour slowly. Fold chocolate chips and walnuts into the combined mixture by hand.
Step 5: Roll
Divide your dough into two equal pieces, and roll each one into a snake until they're each about two inches in diameter. Dusting your board with flour will help prevent sticking.
Step 6: Bake Once
Put your dough snakes onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, press them down a touch to flatten the top, and then bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove the biscotti rolls from your baking sheet and put them in a rack to cool.
Step 7: Bake Twice
When your biscotti snakes are cool enough to handle, slice them on an angle into 1/2 inch slices, like you're slicing bread. Put the slices back onto the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes on each side, until both sides of the biscotti are lightly toasted. This recipe makes 3-4 dozen biscotti.
