Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until blended to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
- Shape Dough: With lightly floured hands, divide the dough into two equal pieces and form each into a log approximately 9-10 inches long and flatten each log to about 3 inches wide using your palms.
- First Bake: Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool on the pan for 15 minutes. Meanwhile reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Slice Biscotti: Using a serrated bread knife, slice the logs diagonally into biscotti pieces.
- Second Bake: Arrange the slices cut side up on the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip each biscotti and bake for an additional 10 minutes to dry out and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let biscotti cool completely until firm. Store in an airtight container or enjoy immediately alongside coffee or tea.
