Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and airy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes, or until it is firm enough to handle.
Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti slices.
Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 10 minutes, until they are crisp and dry.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
