Nutella Biscotti Treats

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

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and arrange the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven.

2. Step 2

   To prepare your baking sheets, line two large rimmed sheets with parchment paper and give them a light spray of cooking spray for easy release.

3. Step 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until everything is nicely blended.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s get to the fun part! In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs on medium-high speed until they become pale and frothy—this should take about 2 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture thickens and lightens in color, which will take another 2 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Next, gently mix in the melted butter and vanilla on low speed until just combined.

7. Step 7

   Now it’s time to add the star of the show: the chocolate-hazelnut spread.

8. Step 8

   Mix it in on low speed, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, until everything is just combined—this should only take about 30 seconds.

9. Step 9

   Gradually fold in the flour mixture on low speed until it’s just combined, and then, for that extra crunch, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

10. Step 10

    Divide the dough in half and place each half in the center of your prepared baking sheets.

11. Step 11

    Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and shape each piece of dough into a log that measures about 3/4 x 2 1/2 x 13 inches.

12. Step 12

    Pop those logs into the preheated oven, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through baking, until the logs are set and firm to the touch—this should take around 30 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes while you reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

14. Step 14

    Carefully transfer one log to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces.

15. Step 15

    Place the slices back on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut-sides up, and repeat with the remaining log.

16. Step 16

    Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake the biscotti until they’re dried out and crisp, which will take about 30 minutes.

17. Step 17

    Remember to flip the cookies and rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.

18. Step 18

    Once they’re perfectly baked, transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take about 30 minutes.

19. Step 19

    While the biscotti cool, let’s add a touch of sweetness! Melt the milk chocolate candy wafers in a medium microwave-safe bowl.

20. Step 20

    Start by microwaving on high for 30 seconds, then give it a good stir.

21. Step 21

    Continue microwaving and stirring in 30-second increments until the chocolate is melted and smooth—this should take about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes in total.

22. Step 22

    Drizzle the melted chocolate over one end of each biscotti for a delightful finish.

23. Step 23

    Finally, pop the biscotti in the refrigerator uncovered until the chocolate hardens, which will take about 15 minutes.

24. Step 24

    Enjoy your delicious homemade biscotti with a cup of coffee or tea, and savor every bite!.
