homemade biscotti recipe
The other day I was scrolling through a Linky party at “Fluster Buster“, and ran across this recipe for homemade peppermint & chocolate biscotti.
My husband loves biscotti with his coffee but doesn’t buy it much. So when I seen this homemade biscotti recipe at “A Worthey Read” I thought I would give it a try and surprise him.

The recipe was for peppermint biscotti, but I didn’t have any peppermint on hand. So I just spread a little extra chocolate on top.
Homemade Biscotti Recipe
Ingredients Needed
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
½ cup milk chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. butter, softened
2 eggs large
Preheat your oven to 375°
Lightly spray a baking sheet
Cream butter & sugar until well mixed.
Add one eggs at a time, and combine.
In a separate bowl mix your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add your flour mixture ¼ cup at a time to the wet mixture until you get it all combined.
Fold in your chocolate chips.
Flour your hands, then place dough on the prepared baking sheet, and forming a log shape about 10” long and 4” wide.
Bake for 27-30 minutes, then remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut your log into ¾” slices and lay each cut side down back on your baking sheet, and place back in the oven.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp. I flipped mine over halfway through baking cycle.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Melt about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time till melted.
Then drizzle melted chocolate over your biscotti. Mine didn’t want to drizzle so I just spread a little chocolate on each piece of biscotti.
The chocolate will harden as it cools then you can store it in an airtight container.
Have you ever tried making biscotti? It’s a lot easier than I had thought.

I love homemade biscotti and this recipe sounds delicious! I haven’t made it in a long time but this is a good excuse to make it again with this recipe. Thanks!
It is good and so easy. This was my first batch. I’ve never thought of making my own.
Biscotti is definitely one of my favorite cookies to make! I love them right out of the freezer!
I haven’t tried them out of the freezer. Will have to try that.
Wow – never realized these were this simple to do – I will definately give these a try, thanks for sharing!
I know, I’ve never even thought of making them till I ran across this easy recipe.
