Brownie Biscotti Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/3 cups sugar
3/4 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unblanched almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
DRIZZLE:
1/2 cup white baking chips
1-1/2 teaspoons shortening

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the butter, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture just until combined (dough will be crumbly).
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead in almonds and chocolate chips. Divide dough in half. On an ungreased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 12-in. x 3-in. log, leaving 3 in. between the logs.
Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until set and tops are cracked. Cool for 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-in. slices.
Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm and dry. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For drizzle, in a microwave, melt vanilla chips and shortening at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over biscotti. Yield: 3 dozen.

Next time I make this I am adding more moisture. Way too crumbly when cutting. I like things to look very presentable. Some of them were. Most were not. Excelltent flavor though!

It was my first biscotti's recipe and can tell you that was great.

This still continues to be my favorite biscotti recipe. I make it every year for Christmas. I love how chocolaty it is! My kids don't like nuts, so I like to substitute white chocolate chips for the nuts, but it's really delicious both ways. I think it IS a little tricky cutting the biscotti, because it tends to want to fall apart, so just use a very gentle touch when cutting and transferring them to the cookie sheet.
