Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 orange)
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest, stirring to combine.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Divide the dough in half and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Flatten the tops slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Lay the biscotti slices cut side up on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
