Chocolate Chip Biscotti For Grandpa
- 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for tops of logs
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large whole eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 large egg white, slightly beaten, reserved for egg wash and for dough, if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Set oven rack to middle position. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare a large sheet pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the dry ingredients. Set the paddle attachment onto the mixer.
- Whisk together the whole eggs, yolk, and vanilla. Set the mixer on low speed and pour egg mixture into the flour mixture until a dough forms. If very dry, add a spoonful or two of egg white.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, knead a few times on a lightly floured surface, and cut into two pieces. If you have a kitchen scale, use it.
- Form each piece into a log about 12" long by 2" wide, and transfer to the parchment-lined pan. It might be easier for you to form the logs right on the parchment paper. Keep the logs a good distance apart, like at least 4 inches. The logs spread a lot, so don't put them too close to the sides of the pan, either.
- Brush some egg wash on each log. Sprinkle tops with sugar. Bake for 50 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool pan on a rack for 10 minutes.
- Separate each log from the parchment paper by running a metal spatula underneath.
- On a cutting board, cut the logs, using a serrated knife, on the diagonal into 1/2 inch slices.
- Lay the biscotti cut side down on a new unlined sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan, flip biscotti over, and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove pan and transfer biscotti to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.
