If you love biscotti and chocolate then you are going to die for this delicious chocolate peppermint polka dot biscotti! Just take a gander at this recipe from Brownie Points Blog!
Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients:
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of cocoa, dutch
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Set this aside and combine in a mixer:
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 Tbs of softened butter
Mix till the butter sugar combination is well incorporated. Then add while mixing:
- one whole egg
- one egg white
- 1 Tbs vanilla
- 3 drops of food grade peppermint essential oil
Scoop in the dry ingredients a bit at a time, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides and bottom once.
Add in 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips.
Using a spatula, scoop the batter out onto a silpat-ed cookie sheet. It will be sticky. Form the dough into a log using a spatula and lightly cocoa dusted fingers.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet half way through.
Remove and let cool. Using a serrated knife, slice 1/2 inch slices from the loaf, on a diagonal to ensure nice long slices. Lay the sliced cookies out on the cookie sheet and bake again at 200F for 30 minutes total (flip cookies over after 15 minutes) if hard cookies suitable for coffee dunking are desired.

These sound great. I wonder how bits of crushed candy cane/peppermint candies would taste in it? yum yum
I’ve never liked biscotti but this one sounds pretty good actually! Very Christmassy too!
I think I’ll keep these in mind for the holidays. I like that they are relatively low in fat, making them a healthier cookie.
