Healthy Double Chocolate Biscotti

© Amy's Healthy Baking

Yields: 18 biscotti

These biscotti are perfect for any chocolate lover! They’re crisp, crunchy, and completely packed with decadent dark chocolate flavor (similar to 72% dark chocolate!). These cookies taste incredible on their own, but they’re also fun to dip in coffee, tea, or even hot chocolate for an extra chocolaty treat! Leftovers should keep for at least two weeks if stored in an airtight container, and they also freeze (and ship!) really well. This recipe is easily doubled to make more, too!

Ingredients 

• ¾ cup (90g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
• ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder (measured like this and see Notes!)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup (96g) coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp (28g) finely diced dark chocolate (see Notes!)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Stir in the coconut sugar. Add in the flour mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the diced dark chocolate.
• Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet, and shape into a long and skinny rectangle that’s 2 ¼” wide and ¾” tall using your hands or a spatula. (If the cookie dough sticks to your hands, rub them with a little neutral-tasting oil first!)
• Bake at 350°F for 33-35 minutes. (The outside should be very dry and crusty!) Let the rectangle of baked cookie dough cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes (no more and no less!).
• Transfer the rectangle of baked cookie dough to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the rectangle into ½”-thick strips (no wider!), working from one short end of the rectangle to the other. (Both diagonal strips and horizontal strips will work!) You should end up with cookies that are ½” thick, ¾” tall, and 2 ¼”+ wide.
• Place the cookies onto the original baking sheet with one cut side facing down and the other cut side facing up. Bake at 350°F, flipping the cookies halfway through, for 6-8 minutes (for centers with just a bit of “give”) or 12-16 minutes (for centers that are completely hard and dry). Cool completely to room temperature on the baking sheet.
