Who doesn’t love a good biscotti? We gave ours a triple-choco makeover: ladies and gents, we present our Christmas Chocolate Biscotti Recipe.

Christmas Chocolate Biscotti Recipe

Hi everyone! Lisa reporting for another culinary post! I’m adding onto our holiday menu (psst: Did you check out our gingerbread cake?) and this time, it’s ultra chocolate-y!

One of the reasons I love going to the local café is because of their delectable biscotti cookies. Most of the time, I’ll order 2, along with a latte. For every bite I take, I carefully dip the biscotti in my beverage – just to soften it up a little. It’s the 15 minutes I give myself as a treat. I’m a mom of a toddler, and 15 minutes of quiet and stillness means everything, especially if it’s with a biscotti and a cup o’ Joe.

Enjoy our chocolate biscotti recipe: a delicious treat for your holiday dessert table.

While this café visit is definitely a session of self-care and “me time,” I couldn’t help but wonder: “Can’t I make my own, homemade biscotti?”

Well, I certainly can.

Our Chocolate Biscotti Recipe is definitely something you’ll want to add to your holiday sweets table. It’s extra sweet, extra festive, and it comes out softer than the traditional biscotti. It is definitely a treat the entire family will enjoy… you could also serve up some homemade eggnog too.

Christmas Chocolate Biscotti Recipe

For the biscotti:

  • 1 cup a/p flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee
  • Pinch salt
  • ¼ cup butter (approx. half a stick), softened
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

To decorate:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • Festive chocolate chips (ours are red, green and white)

Ingredients to bake biscotti

The Addition of Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips and then form a log out of your batter (about 7-8 inches in length) on your lined baking sheet.

Start Baking!

Bake for 25 minutes and remove from oven. Cut log into strips (about 1 inch thick) with a serrated knif and then bake for another 6-8 minutes. Allow your tasty homemade Christmas biscotti to cool on a wire rack.

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl – microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between.

Scoop the melted chocolate in a sandwich bag and cut out a small portion of the corner. Drizzle the chocolate on each biscotti. Sprinkle the festive chocolate chips on top. Let set for about an hour and serve!
