Chocolate Fig Biscotti Treats

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Fig Biscotti Treats.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a baking sheet a light spritz with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder, then set this aside for later.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together softened butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is delightfully light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, gently incorporate six egg whites into the butter mixture, adding them one at a time and mixing well after each addition to ensure everything blends beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Now, stir in the chocolate chips and a splash of vanilla extract, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture for that perfect burst of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Gradually fold in the flour mixture, using a wooden spoon to create a smooth dough that feels just right.

6. Step 6

   It’s time to add a special touch—gently fold in the chopped dried figs, allowing their sweetness to mingle with the dough.

7. Step 7

   Once your dough is ready, divide it into two equal portions and shape each into a lovely loaf, about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

8. Step 8

   Place these loaves on your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 4 inches of space between them.

9. Step 9

   With a gentle hand, flatten the tops slightly to give them a nice shape.

10. Step 10

    For a beautiful finish, beat the remaining egg white until it’s foamy and brush it over the tops of the loaves, then sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon for that warm, inviting aroma.

11. Step 11

    Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the loaves bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the delicious smells wafting through your kitchen.

13. Step 13

    After they’ve cooled, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

14. Step 14

    Now, take a serrated knife and slice the baked loaves into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal pieces.

15. Step 15

    Place these slices cut-side down on a baking sheet, ready for their second round in the oven.

16. Step 16

    Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they’re beautifully browned and crisp.

17. Step 17

    Once they’re done, let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy the delightful crunch and the sweet, fruity flavors that make this treat truly special!.
