Ingredients
1/2 cup
Olive Oil
3/4 cup
Sugar
2
Large eggs
1 tbsp
Vanilla extract
2 cups
All-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp
Baking powder
1/2 tspon
Salt
1 cup
Dark or milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup
Walnuts, chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk the olive oil or butter in a large bowl with the eggs until light and fluffy. Whisk in the vanilla.
Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Stir in the chocolate and walnuts.
Divide the dough in half and on a lightly floured board, roll each half under the palm of your hands into a log about 10 inches long and 1inch wide. Transfer the logs to the parchment lined baking sheets and pat down slightly with your hands so the logs are even.
Bake the logs for 25 minutes or until they are firm to the touch and lightly browned. Carefully transfer them to a cutting board and allow them to cool about 5 minutes. Use a sharp knife and cut 1/2-inch wide diagonal slices from each . Return the slices to the baking sheet and bake an additional 5 minutes or until they are dry and nicely browned.
Transfer the biscotti to cooling racks. Store airtight or freeze.
Can biscotti dough be frozen? I usually make your Chocolate Walnut Biscotti at Christmas time and have added more to my plate this year now that I have graduated from Escoffier and need to prep as much ahead of time as I can. I would like to do my doughs in November; the party is December 6th.
