Simple Mocha Biscotti

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple Mocha Biscotti.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light oiling to a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and softened butter, creaming them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to create a smooth batter.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, finely ground coffee, cocoa powder, and baking powder until everything is well blended.

4. Step 4

   Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the buttery goodness, stirring until a dough forms that you can work with.

5. Step 5

   Now, lay a large square of aluminum foil on a flat surface and lightly oil it.

6. Step 6

   Place your dough onto the foil and use it to shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long.

7. Step 7

   Carefully unwrap the foil and transfer your dough log onto the prepared baking sheet, gently flattening it to about 1 ½ inches in height.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for 25 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once the time is up, take the log out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes, but keep that oven warm and toasty.

10. Step 10

    Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 delightful biscotti pieces.

11. Step 11

    Stand each piece upright on the baking sheet, making sure to leave about ½ inch of space between them for even baking.

12. Step 12

    Return the biscotti to the oven for an additional 12 minutes, allowing them to crisp up beautifully.

13. Step 13

    When they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack, which should take about an hour.

14. Step 14

    Once cooled, store your delicious biscotti in an airtight container, and get ready to enjoy them with your favorite coffee or tea!.
