Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Godiva chocolate liqueur
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or hazelnuts)
- 0.25 cup melted white or dark chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and Godiva chocolate liqueur until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chunks) and nuts, if using.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a slightly flattened log about 12 inches long and 3-4 inches wide.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm to the touch and slightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, then flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack.
Drizzle the biscotti with melted white or dark chocolate for an extra touch of richness. Let the chocolate set before serving or storing.
