Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or semisweet (you could use regular size, or mini)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray with baking spray (you could do them on one sheet, but I like to use two sheets).
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer (or do the dough by hand), beat the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, or 2 to 3 minutes, until thick and pale.
- Add the flour in stirring until combined. Be sure to scrape the sides of bottom of bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips. It will form a sticky dough. Leave the dough to rest in the bowl for a few minutes.
- Scrape out the dough with a rubber spatula onto a lined cookie sheet (I used a sheet for each log) and divide the dough in half. It is a sticky dough.
- Spray hands with cooking spray or slightly wet them with water; form each piece of dough into a 2 ½-inch-wide log. You are working with a sticky dough. IF you're baking on one baking sheet, keep space between the two logs, as they do expand a little while baking.
- With a sharp knife, start to score the baking logs from one end to the other. Do not slice all the way through. You could skip the scoring part. It just does help to slice them after that first bake.
- Bake until dough is firm but gives slightly when pressed, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let logs cool 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Transfer the first loaf carefully to a cutting board. Using a long serrated or very sharp knife, cut each log on the diagonal into ½-inch-thick slices; place slices, cut side up, on sheet. Repeat with the second log.
- Place slices, cut side up, on sheet. Bake 7 minutes, flip biscotti, and bake 7 minutes more, until golden brown.
