Orange Chocolate Cantucci Biscuits

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to bring these fantastic biscuits to life:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Let’s get to baking these tasty treats! Follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log, about 2 inches wide. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  8. Once cooled, slice the log into 1/2 inch wide pieces and lay them flat on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake the slices for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway, until they are crisp and golden brown.
