We love our tea time and nothing beats tea time except tea time + yummy homemade goodies. These chocolate-walnut biscotti are the perfect accompaniment to tea and coffee: sweet, but not too sweet, and crunchy and nutty and perfect for dunking. They’re also super easy to whip up. We always have fresh walnuts on hand so that’s what I used but you can substitute any nut really. Just be prepared for these addicting treats to become a permanent feature (and highlight) of your cozy morning or evening tea-ventures.
Easy Chocolate Walnut Biscotti
Ingredients
2 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick of butter (room temperature)
2 large eggs
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In one bowl, beat the sugar, salt, butter, and eggs (one at a time) until smooth.
- Pour in the sifted flour and baking powder and mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency. As the mixing becomes more difficult, I flour my hands and knead until smooth.
- Add in the walnuts and chocolate and knead by hand for a few minutes until the nuts and chocolate are evenly spread throughout the dough.
- Place your dough on the baking sheet and shape it into a log (about 12 inches long, 2 inches thick) using your hands.
- Bake until light golden brown about 30-40 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.
- On a cutting board, cut your log into 1/2 inch thick slices using a sharp serrated knife. I also cut these slices in half as I like my biscotti more bite size.
- Place each slice side-up on the baking sheet and return to the oven to bake for another 15-20 minutes or until a deeper golden brown.
- Move your biscotti to a rack and let them cool.
- Brew some delicious tea or coffee and enjoy 🙂
