Whip up these delightful White Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti for a festive holiday treat. They are perfectly crisp and ideal for dunking in your morning coffee or tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  6. Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm and lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
  9. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  10. Carefully transfer the log to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
  11. Arrange the sliced biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  12. Bake for another 10-15 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  13. If using, dip the ends of the cooled biscotti in melted white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  14. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  • Overmixing the dough can result in tough biscotti.
  • Cooling the log slightly before slicing makes it easier to get clean cuts.
  • Baking twice ensures the perfect crisp texture for dunking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
