Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 Cup (One Stick) of Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Orange Extract (If you don’t have this you can use vanilla or almond)
  • 2 Tablespoons of Orange Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Orange Zest
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 1/2 Cups of All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Egg White mixed with 1 Teaspoon of Water (For brushing the dough before first baking)
  • 1/2 Bag of Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate morsels.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325*
  2. using a mixer, combine butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add Orange Zest and combine.
  4. Add Orange Juice, Eggs, and Extract (Orange or Vanilla) and mix until well combined.
  5. Add Baking Powder and Salt.
  6. Slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until just combined. The dough will appear sticky- that’s how you want it.
  7. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into two portions.
  8. Roll each portion to a rectangle approximately 12 inches long by 4-5 inches wide.
  9. Place each rectangle on a parchment lined baking sheet with a few inches in between (dough will spread and rise as it cooks).
  10. Brush tops of both rectangles with Egg White and Water Mixture
  11. Bake for 30 minutes in 325* oven until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
  12. Cool for ten minutes.
  13. Lower oven heat to 300* at this time.
  14. With a chefs knife or other longer knife, slice through the rectangles on an angle to the size preferred. (I made mine about 3/4″ wide and yielded about 20-24 biscotti).
  15. Stand each slice on its side, (cut side up) and bake at 300* for an additional 30 minutes or until dried and lightly browned.
  16. Let cookies cool completely.
  17. Melt chocolate in microwave or in a double boiler, watching the chocolate doesn’t burn.
  18. Dip biscotti in chocolate or using a knife, spread a layer of chocolate on the biscotti.
  19. Allow chocolate to set, this can be done in the refrigerator or in a cool location.
  20. Store in an airtight container in a cool location.
