Servings: 12

Prep & Cook time: 1hr 15 min

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups flour

  • ¾ cups unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Extra Dark)

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup butter softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • ½ cup white chocolate melting chocolate wafers

  • 3-4 candy canes smashed into bits

  • ½ cup peppermint crunch baking chips by Andes

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.

  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth, then add sugar until fully incorporated. Add eggs, while continuing to blend. Add vanilla.

  • Slowly add dry ingredients, continuing to blend just until combined.

  • Divide dough in half and form into two logs lengthwise on parchment lined baking sheet. Gently flatten until dough is roughly 1.5 inches tall. Try to keep the logs roughly even from end to end.

  • Bake for 30 minutes, until dough feels firm to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes on the baking sheet.

  • Carefully transfer the baked logs to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut log into ¾" thick slices. Lay the biscotti, cut side down on the baking sheets and return to the oven. Bake 9 minutes on one side. Remove and turn all the bisoctti over and bake on the second side 9 minutes. Place on cooling rack.

  • While the biscotti is cooling, melt your white chocolate per instructions if using wafers, otherwise melt them at 50% power in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until melted.

  • Dip, drizzle, or spread (on one side) the melted white chocolate onto each biscotti. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes and Andes peppermint bits as desired.

  • Allow the white chocolate to set fully before packaging biscotti in air tight container or individual packages if you are sharing with friends!
