ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 8 oz mix ins
  • 2 tsp extract
  • 6 oz. chocolate of choice for drizzling
  • TOPPINGS: crushed candy canes chopped nuts, etc

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter using two forks (or your hands) until the mixture resembles crumbs.
  • Set aside 1 Tbsp of the beaten eggs. Add the rest of the eggs, extract of your choosing, and mix ins to the flour mixture and knead until the dough comes together. 
  • Turn the dough out into the USA PAN Biscotti pan, pressing the dough down into an even layer. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
  • Bake 23-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool 10 minutes. Keep the oven on!
  • Once cooled, turn out onto a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. 
  • Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be toasted and golden brown. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate of your choosing in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until smooth. Add melted chocolate to a Ziplock bag and trim the corner. Drizzle the cookies with both chocolates and sprinkle any desired toppings on top.
