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
- 1 cup Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
Gently fold in the Cocoa Krispies cereal and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the dough in half and, with slightly damp hands, shape each half into a 12-inch long and 2-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the logs with the melted unsalted butter for a shiny finish.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch.
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti slices.
Place the slices cut side down back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Flip the biscotti slices over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and dry.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
