Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box box of cake mix (any flavor, 15.25 oz)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and all-purpose flour. Mix well to evenly distribute the flour.
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir the mixture until a stiff dough forms.
If desired, fold in optional ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to add flavor and texture.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them to allow spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Transfer the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Flip each piece over and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the biscotti are dry and crisp.
Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
