🥘 Ingredients

All-purpose flour: the base of the cookie dough

Granulated sugar and brown sugar: what will sweetened the biscotti.

Cocoa powder: added to give chocolate flavor that enhances the irish cream liqueur and coffee flavors.

Instant coffee granules: used to deepen the flavors of the cookie.

Ground cinnamon: this ingredient enhances the flavors in the cookie

Chocolate coated coffee beans: these are optional and are added for texture and flavor

Mini white chocolate chips: an optional ingredient. Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used instead.

Large eggs: be sure these are removed from the fridge at least 30 minutes before using to use at room temperature.

Unsalted butter: if using salted, omit the salt in the ingredient list.

Irish Cream Liquor: I usually use Bailey's but any creamy liquor with the smooth taste of bailey's can be used.

Milk: dairy or non dairy milk of choice can be used. I often use almond or oat milk.

White candy coating: this is optional for dipping the baked biscotti and I usually find this in the baking aisle of the grocery store on the top shelf.

🔪 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee, cinnamon, salt, coffee beans (if using) and white chocolate M&M's (if using). Set aside.
Using a hand whisk, mix together melted butter and Irish cream liqueur, and eggs until well blended.
Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Pour liquid ingredients into center of well and stir until most of the dry ingredients have mixed in. Turn out onto the lightly floured surface and knead dough 8-10 times until dough comes together. Divide dough into 4 equal quarters.
Shape each section of dough into a log shape, squeezing together and flattening until about 1 inch thick.
Place the logs on cookie sheet spacing each log about 2 inches apart. You may need to use two cookie sheets if you don't have one large enough for the spacing.
Whisk together egg and milk and brush tops and sides of biscotti liberally. Bake 20 minutes, or until log feels firm to the touch and looks dry.
Remove from oven and cool about 10 minutes, until just cool enough to handle. Once cooled, cut each log crosswise in a diagonal shape approximately ½" thick.
Line biscotti cookies baking sheet cut side down and return to oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove bisotti from the oven and flip over. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes more.
Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, melt candy coating according to package directions (if using) and dip one end of the biscotti in the melted chocolate. Transfer to a piece of aluminum foil and allow candy coating to harden.

🥄 Equipment

Large bowl

Baking sheet

Parchment paper

Microwave safe bowl

Serrated edge knife

🥫Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container on the shelf up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 3 months.

📖 Variations

Substitute your own cream liqueur in place of the baileys.
For an alcohol free biscotti, use baileys coffee creamer in place of the irish cream liqueur.

💭 Tips

Always use a serrated edge knife in a sawing motion to cut the biscotti into clean smooth edges.
Be sure to allow the biscotti logs to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing the cookies. The dough is less fragile and will not fall apart when cooled before cutting.
