Description

An easy-to-make recipe for espresso chocolate chip biscotti. Perfect for dunking in your morning coffee, or as a mid-afternoon snack!


Ingredients

Scale

260 grams all purpose flour (2 cups), plus more for dusting countertop
210 grams granulated sugar (1 cup)
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
60 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed (4 tablespoons)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons good-quality coffee extract, such as Trablit*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Demerara sugar, for sprinkling


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment, and set aside until ready to use.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Add cubed butter to flour mixture and use your hands to combine. The mixture will resemble breadcrumbs.

Add eggs, coffee extract, and vanilla extract to the flour-butter mixture, followed by chocolate chips. Knead by hand until a soft dough forms.

Lightly flour countertop. Divide dough into two equal portions, and roll each portion into a log. Each log should measure approximately 8 inches (20 centimeters) long x  3 inches (8 centimeters) wide.

Place the two logs on prepared baking sheet, making sure to allow a good amount of space between the two. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the logs with egg white.

Sprinkle the tops of each log with Demerara sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes on tray.

Using a serrated knife, cut each log on the diagonal, creating 1-inch / 2.5-centimeter wide slices. Place slices upright on baking sheets and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Transfer biscotti to a wire rack and cool completely prior to serving.

Espresso biscotti are best enjoyed within 1-2 days of baking, but may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Biscotti can also be frozen, and will thaw quickly at room temperature.

 

Notes

*Trablit is a highly concentrated French coffee extract, often utilized in pastry kitchens. It is available on Amazon.
