Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon finely ground dark coffee beans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 3 eggs yolks
- ½ cup whole hazelnuts
- sugar for sprinkling, as needed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ground coffee in the bowl of an electric mixer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla.
- Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Using a paddle attachment at medium speed, mix the ingredients until almost combined.
- Lower the speed to low and add the hazelnuts. Mix until nuts are evenly distributed into the dough. The dough will be soft.
- Divide the dough into three pieces. Shape each into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs several inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar if desired, and bake at 325 degrees until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Cool the logs, then cut them on the diagonal with a serrated knife into ¾-inch thick slices.
- Lower the oven heat to 300 degrees. Place the slices on baking sheets and bake until hard and dry, about 20 minutes.
- Cool the slices. Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
- Decorate the biscotti with the melted white chocolate as desired. When the chocolate has set, store the biscotti in a covered container in a cool, dry area.
