Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until soft, then add the white sugar and baking powder, continuing to beat until well combined. |
| 3 | Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the cocoa and as much flour as you can blend in with the mixer. |
| 4 | When the dough becomes too stiff for the mixer, gently fold in the remaining flour by hand until fully incorporated. |
| 5 | Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough. |
| 6 | Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a loaf measuring approximately 9 x 2 x 1 inches. |
| 7 | Place the loaves onto a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 4 inches apart. |
| 8 | In a small bowl, mix together the water and milk, then brush this mixture over the tops of the loaves. |
| 9 | Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the loaves are set and lightly golden. |
| 10 | Allow the baked loaves to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 30 minutes. |
| 11 | Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the loaves into 1/2-inch thick slices, diagonally. |
| 12 | Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven, now set to 350°F (165°C). |
| 13 | Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp. |
| 14 | Once fully baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely. |
| 15 | Store the cooled biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness. |
Enjoy these delectable Brownie Biscotti with a cup of your favorite hot beverage or package them up for a thoughtful homemade gift!
