Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 60 grams mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg whites, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined and the sugar has somewhat dissolved.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky; this is normal.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a log about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, enough to handle safely.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Transfer the cooled logs to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices.
Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying them cut side down.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for another 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The biscottini will continue to harden as they cool.
