If you are looking for a great cookie to dunk in your coffee or hot chocolate, look no further! Our favorite coffee flavor is hazelnut so these pair perfectly! The original recipe looked delicious but we decided to kick it up a notch. We added some white chocolate chips into the biscotti's and then also melted some white chocolate to dip and drizzle! This is optional, but we highly recommend it. A great gift idea would be to give a tin of these with a box of your favorite coffee or hot chocolate!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts
- White chocolate chips (optional)
- White chocolate, melted (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350
- Grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper, set aside
- Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, set aside
- Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and cream until light and fluffy
- Beat in eggs and vanilla
- Gradually incorporate flour mixture into butter mixture
- Stir in hazelnuts and white chocolate chips
- Shape dough into two equal logs (they will be approximate 12 inches long each), and place on baking sheet
- Flatten them out to about 1/2 inch thickness
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until edges are golden and the center is firm
- Let cool on the pans until cool enough to handle
- Use a serrated knife to slice the loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Return slices to baking sheet
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, turning over half way through
- Cool completely
- Melt remaining white chocolate and either dip sides, ends, or drizzle the chocolate over them
