  • 2 2/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa

Gold Medal Flour

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet. In large bowl, combine sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; blend well. Add flour, cocoa and baking powder; mix well. Stir in toasted hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
  • 2
    Divide dough in half; shape each into 10-inch log. Place logs 5 inches apart on greased cookie sheet; flatten each until 3 inches wide.
  • 3
    Bake at 350°F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until firm when touched in center. Cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes. With serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange slices, cut side down, on same cookie sheet.
  • 4
    Return to oven; bake 10 minutes. Turn slices over; bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until cut sides are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from cookie sheet; place on wire rack. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
  • 5
    Place candy coating in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds, stirring once, or until melted and smooth. If necessary, microwave an additional 20 seconds. Drizzle over biscotti.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    *To toast hazelnuts, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F. for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. To remove skins, roll warm nuts in clean kitchen towel.
  • tip 2
    Toasting hazelnuts loosens their peels; simply brush the peels away and discard.
  • tip 3
    Dutch process cocoa has been treated with alkali to reduce cocoa's natural acidity. Dutch-process cocoa is darker and more richly flavored than regular cocoa. Biscotti prepared with regular cocoa won't look or taste as chocolaty as those prepared with Dutch-process cocoa.
  • tip 4
    For elegant biscotti, drizzle with 3 ounces each of melted white and chocolate candy coating.
