Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: Start by placing the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add the eggs: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, crack the eggs into the bowl, adding one at a time. Continue mixing after each addition to ensure that the eggs are fully incorporated into the mixture. The dough should now have a smooth, creamy texture.

3. Incorporate the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and add it to the bowl gradually. Also, add a pinch of salt and continue to mix. Use your hands to knead the dough gently until it forms a uniform ball.

4. Add the baking powder: Sprinkle the baking powder over the dough and knead again to ensure it’s evenly distributed throughout.

5. Shape the biscotti: Now comes the fun part! Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball about the size of a walnut. Press your thumb into the center of the ball to create an indentation.

6. Fill with chocolate: Place about 3 grams of white chocolate pieces or chips into the indentations you created. Once the chocolate is in place, carefully fold the dough around it to enclose the chocolate, forming a smooth ball again.

7. Prepare for baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place each coconut dough ball onto the tray, leaving some space between them to allow for spreading.

8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the biscotti for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden and slightly firm to the touch. The chocolate inside will melt, creating a delightful, gooey center.

9. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet, finishing touch.

These coconut biscotti with a heart of white chocolate are the perfect balance of crispy and chewy with a delicious surprise inside. Enjoy them as an afternoon snack, share them at a gathering, or wrap them up as a gift for someone special.
