Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined. Fold in the chopped pistachios.
6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice logs into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
8. Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and dry.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts until smooth.
11. Dip the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.
12. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve or package your biscotti bites for a delightful treat!

Notes

Tip: For a touch of flavor, drizzle additional melted chocolate on top of the biscotti after dipping.

When making biscotti, ensure your dough is not too wet; it should be firm enough to hold its shape during baking. If you want to switch things up, you can substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts. For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.

Store your biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. They also freeze well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later! Serve them fresh out of the oven or pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the perfect treat.
