Chocolate Chip Almond Biscotti is a crisp, dunkable treat - the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee. These biscotti are loaded with chocolate chips and are flavored with a hint of almond.
These Chocolate Chip Almond Biscotti will have you running to your next coffee break. Dipped in chocolate for added decadence, these biscotti are the perfect sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee. For non-coffee drinkers, enjoy these with a glass of milk.
Biscotti are essentially twice-baked cookies, so they are crisp rather than soft and chewy - ideal for dunking. This recipe can be used to make some always-loved chocolate chip cookies, but changing the way the dough is formed and baked results in a delicious and crisp dunker for your next coffee break.
The dough comes together similar to a cookie dough. Start by creaming the butter and sugar, adding in eggs and extracts. Next, stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, followed by the chocolate chips.
Instead of portioning the dough into balls for cookies, divide the dough into four portions and shape into logs. Chill, bake and cool the logs. Then, slice crosswise in pieces about one-inch wide. Place the pieces back on the baking sheet and bake again until firm and crisp. Once cool, dip in melted chocolate if desired.
