Double Chocolate Biscotti

Happy Halloween!
This was Monday, when Charlie was watching Sandy roll in.
Right now we're giving out candy to the cute trick-or-treaters, sipping hot cider, and reminiscing about past Halloweens. I'm a little worried we're going to have a lot of candy left over, in addition to the cookies I made last night and the double chocolate biscotti the day before, as we were waiting for Sandy to hit.  I guess I've been in the baking mood, but bad timing with Halloween!

Double Chocolate Biscotti
Makes 3 dozen
Adapted from MyRecipes.com

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, baking powder and soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine vanilla, eggs, and egg white. Add flour mixture to vanilla mixture; stir until well blended. 

Coat baking sheet with non-stck cooking spray. With floured hands, divide dough in half and place on baking sheet. Shape each dough half into a 12-inch long roll; pat to 1/2-inch thickness. 

Bake at 350 for 22 minutes. Remove rolls from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Cut each roll diagonally into 18 (1/2-inch) slices. Bake biscotti an additional 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack. 

Delicious with coffee in the morning!
