Chocolate & Fig Biscotti

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried figs, chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  4. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. It might be a bit sticky, but that’s okay!
  5. Add in the chopped figs, chocolate chips, and nuts, folding them gently into the dough until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the dough in half and form two logs about 12 inches long on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake the logs for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  8. Once cooled, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices back on the baking sheet.
  9. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
  10. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

There you have it—your very own Chocolate & Fig Biscotti! These delightful treats are perfect for enjoying with a warm beverage or giving as a gift. Enjoy baking and savoring each bite!
