How to Make Chocolate Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, espresso, and peppermint extract until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 16-inch long log, about 2 inches thick.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Transfer the log to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice it into 1-inch thick biscotti.
- Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle with melted milk chocolate, if desired.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
