Orange Chocolate Biscotti

Prep Time1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time50 minutes
Servings: 20 biscotti

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature (55g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (200g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cardamom, ground
  • zest from one orange
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp orange juice

Chocolate Topping

  • 8 oz dark chocolate
  • (optional: additional orange zest for garnishing)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Cream together the butter and the sugars in a mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract, add the eggs one by one, and add the orange juice, mixing until just combined in between each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and orange zest.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture and mix until combined.
  • On a baking sheet with waxed paper or a silicone mat, spread the batter into a rectangle of about 4-6 inches in width and about ¾-inch thickness.
  • Bake the batter at 350F for 35-40 minutes until the cookie becomes firm and the top springs back when pressed lightly with a finger.
  • Allow the cookie to cool for at least 60 minutes before cutting the large cookie into thin slices of about ½-inch width.
  • Preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Place the slices onto the baking sheet with one of the sliced sides facing upwards. Bake at 325F for 15-20 minutes. The biscotti should be firm and slightly dry.

For the chocolate topping:

  • Melt the dark chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Either dip the biscotti into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate on top of the biscotti. Optional: sprinkle orange zest on top of the still warm chocolate on the biscotti.
