Biscotti, the Italian cookies that are baked twice, should be twice as nice if chocolate-flavored.

❤❤❤❤❤😊thank you so much
Can we get versions without kitchen appliances? I don't have a food processor/blender/stand mixer.
you're a great teacher, easy to understand. thanks!
whisk the egg white separately and skip the baking powder
you prefer the dark cocoa because you're a good person.
"biscotti – old italian word meaning sweetened cardboard" 🙃 … I know many people love it, but not me
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yummy!
That tip of using the processor to whip the eggs was genius and I could have used it about 40 years ago.

Great recipe. In order to reduce the second bake time in half to 15 minutes, I place the cut slices directly on the wire rack without a baking pan underneath. Both sides are exposed directly to the oven heat so they dry out quicker. During this baking time, I prep the next batch of raw ingredients. And the baking pan cools enough to put the next set of dough on it. With the parchment paper, you can prep the next loaves on the counter before the pan has cooled from the prior batch. It's great to make these in advance before holidays and store in tins allowing the flavors to become more pronounced.
Me: Cool, biscotti should be pretty simple; pretty straightforward.
Julia: So, I've made some templates….
😂❤😂
Can you use coffee flavour liquid, please, as sub for the expresso powder?
grin..right in the corners of a round processor bowl
I didn’t know there was such a thing as an imperfect afternoon cookie😄. The biscotti looks delicious.
And may I say Julie your hair looks super cute!
I'm sold Julia. I'll back the truck up for choco-biscottos. Meanwhile, ever considered an ATK video for making sun-dried tomatoes?
Glad to see no seed oil in this recipe but avoid that veg oil spray (use Chosen avocado spray).
1.25 cups lightly toasted nuts; coarsely chop 1 cup and set aside, then finely grind the remaining quarter cup
1.25 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp instant espresso powder
1/4 tsp table salt
Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients
Whisk two eggs until light colored and foamy
Add:
1 cup sugar
4 Tbsp unsalted melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
Combine liquid ingredients
Add half the dry mixture to the egg mixture and fold in, then add the remaining dry ingredients and the coarsely chopped nuts and combine.
Shape dough into two rectangles, 8" x 3", on parchment paper.
Wash with an egg wash made with one egg white, and a pinch of salt
Bake at 325º for 30 minutes, or until puffy and with a crackled top.
Cool 30 minutes, then slice each rectangle into 1/2" thick slices.
Place slices on a wire rack and bake at 325º for another 30 minutes.
Cool for at least an hour.
Looks scrumptious! 💜
How does one toast nuts?
No sense in subscribing if you're not going to share your recipe. Why would u share a recipe on video then have your subscribers sign in to get a recipe. No thank you!
Biscotti are my favorite things to bake. I'm going to make these.
Yum!

Nice!
Hey, Julia! I've NEVER seen any 'corners' in my food processor! 😅
Those look fantastic. So glad you used almonds. Never understood the appeal of hazelnuts at all.
It’s so unfortunate to see someone repeat such a terrible lie. Adding a little bit of coffee does not make it taste more chocolate. It just makes it taste like coffee. 😢
I want to try this one. Looks lovely.
🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Julia!
I recently purchased the Test Kitchen's recommended Dutch-processed cocoa powder "Droste" from Amazon and I've been looking for a way to try it, so I'm literally headed to my kitchen now!
I am trying to improve my eating habits though and while this appears to be a rather healthy recipe already, I think I'll make it with my favorite monk fruit & allulose blend sweetener instead of white sugar to cut the calories. I'll also substitute 1/2 of the white flour with "white whole wheat" flour to lower the glycemic index a bit. That should make these little gems both nutritious and guilt free! Thanks for sharing Miss Julia and ATK!
😋
I would like to have my mind blown
I’m looking forward to making this recipe
Perfect timing with fall & winter ahead!
