Mocha Chip Hazelnut Biscotti
- ForThe Biscotti:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Folgers instant coffee
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- For The Glaze:
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped & toasted
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and instant coffee in a medium bowl to blend.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
- Form the dough into a 12-inch long, 4-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Place the log on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until crisp & dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
- For the glaze, stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto one end of each biscotti and immediately sprinkle with the chopped toasted hazelnuts. Do this over the sink or over a second cookie sheet to avoid a mess!
- Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
