Double Chocolate Biscotti

These Double Chocolate Biscotti are one of the best chocolate cookie recipes to serve alongside coffee. Biscotti are different from other cookies as they are baked twice, making them crispy and perfect to be dipped into the hot coffee. They are very easy to prepare and are also a great treat for kids as well.  

How to make Double Chocolate Biscotti.

You don’t need more than 10-15 minutes to prepare the batter for these chocolate biscotti. First, you whisk together the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, in a medium bowl. 

In another bowl cream together butter and sugar and then add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract or any other extract you prefer, like rum, mint, almond and so on. Incorporate the flour mixture and chocolate chips. The batter is ready.

Now, shape the batter into two small logs and bake for 25 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Don’t cool completely as you may not be able to cut clean slices. 

Cut the logs into diagonal slices and transfer again to the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes more, until crispy.

For a touch of fall, you may also try these Apples and Oats Biscotti which I find a great back-to-school treat all day long. These crunchy and nutty classic Cantucci Biscuits are always great for coffee breaks as well.

    Ella is the best! I love watching the video before making a recipe as I’m one of those see one, do one people. I have been making more things from her and it’s incredible. Next time I do I’ll take some pics to post, but her videos show it better! And I love her blog pic – she looks so stern on the website pic lol!

      You can use raspberries or strawberries, same quantity. To set it up just add 3-5g gelatin powder.. that you bloom in 1-2 tbsp cold water.

    These turned out amazing! I have a question. I love all things double chocolate, but my kids and husband would rather have a vanilla one with chocolate chips. If i take out the coca powder, I’m assuming i need to increase flour and reduce sugar? Can you please suggest the quantity?

    1. Ella - Home Cooking Adventure Author says:

      Yes, exactly. you can increase the flour with the amount used for cocoa powder and reduce sugar to 1/2 cup (100g). Use this recipe and leave out the dried fruits if desired. https://www.homecookingadventure.com/dried-fruit-biscotti
