Dark Cocoa

Chockey, Chockey, Chockey. I love you so.

Dark chocolate biscotti with dark chocolate chips bring this sweet cookie to life that makes all things better.

I know, enough with the biscotti already. But seriously. It is a cookie this gal has some serious affection for. It has flavor and texture and shelf life. It can be dipped into a hot beverage and not fall apart like an Oreo (I hereby proclaim soggy Oreos to be exceptional at the right time and place).

This dough is, for all intents and purposes, a dream. It comes off the mixer in one lump, is divided, baked, sliced, and baked again. It needs no garnish but will take one with pride. It has dark chocolate chunks, but the potential for this dough…add in slivered almonds, dried cherries, cranberries, orange zest, pistachios…the ideas are endless.

For this cookie, I kept it simple. Dark chocolate cocoa powder, dark chocolate chunks, need I say more? I did indulge and dip half of the batter into melted chocolate because, yes please.

Today’s blog is short and sweet, pun intended. These cookies need no elaboration. If you don’t bake them as long the second round, they will have a soft crunch. Which, if you are going to have hard edges, you should have a soft center. In personality as well as a cookie, am I right?

I hope you enjoy this recipe, and as always, thank you for coming to the table!
