Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (162°C) and preparing a baking sheet by coating it with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and creme de menthe. Mix well and set aside.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg white until smooth and well combined.
-
Slowly add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring by hand until everything is evenly moistened. The mixture will be thick and stiff.
-
Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour evenly over your work surface to prevent sticking. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and knead it lightly about 7 or 8 times.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into an 8-inch log. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 4 inches of space between them.
-
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until they are firm and lightly golden. Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
-
Carefully slice each log diagonally into 15 slices, each about 1/2-inch thick. Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut sides down.
-
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 18 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Serve and enjoy these Chocolate-Mint Biscotti with a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for maximum freshness.
