Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Double Chocolate Biscotti.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This is where the magic will happen!
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and instant coffee granules. Give it a gentle stir and set it aside for now. This dry mix is the foundation of your biscotti.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the sweetness begins!
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This ensures that each egg is fully incorporated into the buttery goodness. With the last egg, mix in the vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost.
Step 5
Now, gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender biscotti!
Step 6
Fold in the miniature semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, mixing just enough to distribute them evenly throughout the dough. The chocolate and nuts will add delightful texture and flavor!
Step 7
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into flat rectangles, about 8 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion.
Step 8
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with the tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the tops of each loaf to give them a beautiful golden finish when baked.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the loaves are firm to the touch. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 to 12 minutes. This cooling period is crucial!
Step 10
After cooling, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Cut each loaf diagonally into 3/4-inch slices. Place the slices cut-side up back onto the baking sheet.
Step 11
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes on each side, until they are dry and crisp. This is what gives them that signature crunch!
Step 12
Once baked, let the biscotti cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and delicious.
