Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until frothy. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4. Shape the dough into a log, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and firm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
6. Transfer the log to a cutting board and slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
7. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
9. Dip the cooled biscotti into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, and place them on parchment paper to set.

Notes

Note: Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the dough. Almonds or cranberries complement the chai spices beautifully. Be careful not to overbake the biscotti; they should be dry but not too hard. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, and they will stay fresh for up to two weeks. To re-crisp, warm them in the oven for a few minutes before serving!
