Ingredients
Biscotti Dough
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 orange (zested for dough)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For Garnish
- 1 orange (zested for garnish)
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup milk chocolate (melted)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with sugar until combined, about two minutes. Add in eggs, orange extract, and orange zest.
- Slowly add flour and baking powder.
- The dough will be crumbly. Using your hands, dump dough onto parchment paper, and shape into a 12-inch by 4-inch rectangular log. Pat evenly so it will be about 0.5 inch high. Using your warm hands you should be able to press dough together smoothly.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and slice biscotti into 16-18 slices. Arrange slices on their sides, leaving a little space between each slice. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Flip slice to other side. Bake 10 more minutes.
- Remove and cool completely before garnishing.
- In a small bowl, combine the zest of one orange with sugar, using a fork. Drizzle melted chocolate over each biscotti slice and immediately sprinkle with orange sugar. ENJOY.
Notes
The dough is initially crumbly; use warm hands to help form it into a log. For a different flavor, dark chocolate can be used for drizzling instead of milk chocolate.
