Instructions
To create these delightful eggless cocoa biscotti, begin by placing the room temperature butter and muscovado sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment. Turn the mixer on to combine these ingredients well, ensuring the butter becomes smooth and the sugar is well incorporated.
Next, add the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder to the mixture. Incorporate these dry ingredients into the butter and sugar blend gradually, mixing until fully combined. For an extra layer of flavor, pour in the vanilla extract and mix again until the dough starts to come together.
Once the dough has formed, it’s time to shape the biscotti. Take approximately 16 to 18 grams of dough and roll it between your palms to form small balls. Be sure to handle the dough quickly to avoid warming it up, which can affect the texture. Place the formed dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You should be able to create around 35 biscottini from this batch.
For the finishing touch, combine the dark chocolate chips with the sea salt flakes in a small bowl. Gently press a few chocolate chips onto the top of each dough ball, followed by a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) in static mode. Once it’s ready, bake the biscotti for about 18 minutes, or until they are firm and slightly cracked on top.
After baking, allow the cocoa biscotti to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these rich, egg-free treats with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor the perfect combination of cocoa, chocolate, and sea salt!
