Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 10 ounces dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate or dark chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and almond extracts. Mix until well combined. Add in flour, baking soda and powder, and salt. Mix until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Divide dough into four equal portions and shape each into a log, approximately 2 inches x 6-8 inches. Place on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Bake for 20-23 minutes until lightly golden brown and done in the middle. Remove from the oven and let cool. Transfer each log to a cutting board and cut crosswise into pieces one inch wide.
- Place slices, cut side down, back on the baking sheets and bake for 5-10 minutes until firm. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Melt chocolate and dip end of each biscotti in the chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set. Store in an airtight container.
