the finished product
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a food processor, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt
- Process for a few seconds
- Add butter and vanilla, and process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal
- Add chocolate chips (bittersweet and white - for the mixture) and eggs, and pulse until dough is evenly moistened
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, and press onto pans (with parchment paper) as 'flattened logs'
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and cut into diagonal pieces (however thin/thick you want your biscotti - I recommend fairly thin)
- Turn all slices on sides and return to oven for 4-5 minutes
- Take out, and turn slices on the opposite sides, and return to oven for another 4-5 minutes
- Let cool
- While cooling, put white and milk chocolate chips into a big bowl, cover, and heat in microwave between 4 and 5 minutes
- While chocolate is heating, cut each piece of biscotti in half
- Stir chocolate so it all combines together
- Dip the ends of each 'bite' of biscotti into the chocolate
- Place on a plate or pan lined with parchment paper
- Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes
- ENJOY
working on the goodie bags
(And if you're giving them as gifts, as I did, you can place them in small plastic bags, tie with various colors of ribbon, add a little notecard with a hole punch, and it's as easy as that)
