No hot cocoa bar is complete without a jar of chocolate biscotti for dipping! These double chocolate biscotti cookies are to die for. Perfectly crunchy, loaded with chocolate, and easy to make!
Mix melted butter and cocoa powder together until smooth.
Beat in sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing with each addition. Add vanilla.
Add salt, baking soda and flour.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Cover dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the work surface with a couple of tablespoons of flour.Transfer dough onto the work surface then sprinkle dough with a small amount of flour.Work the dough into a ball then cut the dough in half.Note: the dough will be wet and sticky---this is normal. Just add enough flour to keep it from sticking to your hands and work surface too much. I like kneading the dough a bit with the flour to cover the outside while I shape it.
Form each dough portion into a 9" log.
Place biscotti logs onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. They will spread when baked so keep 3-4" in between each log or bake on separate sheets.
Flatten the logs a bit with your hands. They should be about 9" long and 3" wide.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Allow cookie logs to rest 5 minutes.Slice logs into ¾"-1" sections.
Turn each section onto its flat side. Arrange biscotti slices on baking sheet.
Bake biscotti for an additional 9 minutes. Flip biscotti over for even baking then return to oven and bake another 9 minutes.
Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dip in chocolate, if desired.
