Chocolate Chip Biscotti is a delicious cookie that is my favorite to bake and share for Christmas. They are a family favorite and sturdy enough for shipping to friends and relatives!
Biscotti has become my all- time favorite cookie. They are crunchy and oh so delicious. I really enjoy Chocolate Chip Biscotti with my morning coffee and the boys can't resist dipping it in a tall glass of milk.
I have even made a How To Make Biscotti Video that you will find with the recipe. There are a few extra steps to baking biscotti but you will find they are totally worthwhile.
Chocolate Chip Biscotti
My kids love chocolate chip cookies more than any other and so I knew this biscotti would be an instant favorite. They also go crazy for these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies that makes a large batch to share!
It was just hard to resist this fun event that spreads holiday cheer and supports Cookies for Kids Cancer. It is a wonderful event put on by The Little Kitchen and Love and Olive Oil. It is always fun to bake up a batch of cookies and ship them off to fellow food bloggers and it's also pretty fun to also get cookies in the mail!
The holidays are always busy for me but I do love to take time to make cookies for friends and neighbors and this biscotti recipe is always a favorite.
Fresh baked cookies are the perfect way to show a little kindness to those around you during the holidays. My other go-to cookies for the holidays are the Best Ever Sugar Cookies!
I knew I wanted to make biscotti. Biscotti is a sturdy cookie that holds up to shipping and it will stay fresh tasting for a few weeks, making it perfect for the cookie swap.
What is Biscotti?
Biscotti is baked twice and is a crunchy cookie for snacking or dunking in your morning coffee.It is really one of my favorite cookies, I'm not sure why I only bake them for Christmas!
We have great debates about chewy versus crunchy cookies at our house but I assure you we all agree that these Chocolate Chip Biscotti one of our favorites. I have added them to my holiday cookie baskets for quite a few years and they are always the first to disappear.
The debate rages on and these Salted Caramel Cookie Bars are a good mix of both crunchy and chewy! But really you can't go wrong with fresh baked cookies! I also love these Gingerbread Cookies for the holiday season.
It's quite a thrill to get homemade goodies in the mail no matter what time of year! Wouldn't you agree?
Be sure to head on over to get their delicious recipes. You can also check out The Little Kitchen and Love and Olive Oil this week for a complete list of participating blogs for all the cookie inspiration a person could dream of!
It's hard to believe we've been doing this for 4 years! My cookies from years past were Cowboy Cookies, Chocolate Biscotti, and Peppermint Kiss & Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Tips for Baking Biscotti:
Baking biscotti is not complicated as you can see in the video. I have had a few people say that the dough is a little sticky when they go to shape it.
I just sprinkle a bit of flour over the dough and it works like a charm. I hope you will give this recipe a try. It is my favorite!!

I have never tried baking biscotti before. For some reason I thought it would be much for complicated. I can't wait to give it a try!
Jenny Weaver
Hi,
I had never made biscotti before but yours looked so good I had to give it a try! Is there a chance that the amount of flour is off in this recipe as printed? The recipe says 3 1/2 cups AP flour, which produced a very dry and crumbly dough. Not knowing if this is correct, I went ahead and baked it, but it does not look like it is coming out for me. I did a quick check of a few other biscotti recipes and most said just 2 cups flour. Please let me know if the 3 1/2 is correct - I may try it again if the flour was supposed to be less/
Thank you!
Milisa
Hi Jenny-
You are right, it should have been 2 1/2 cups. I have adjusted the recipe and I'm so sorry for the error! Thanks for letting me know and I hope you give the biscotti another try.

Jeanette
Can a gf flour be used?
Milisa
I haven't tried it with Gluten free flour, but I think it should work. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.

Christin
Did 1 log with chocolate chips, 1 log with toffee bits. Really liked both. Will make them again
Milisa
Hi Christin,
I love the idea of the toffee bits! Thanks for the tip!
~Milisa
Ronnie
do you use dark or light brown sugar?
Milisa
Hi Ronnie,
I use light brown sugar but either is fine.

Gabriella
These biscotti are AMAZING! Made them today as some Christmas gifts and had to fight my husband off haha. Thank you!! Gabi
Maryann
Chocolate Chip Biscotti are the best EVER! Thank you so much for sharing. They did not last for more than 2 days in my house with my family.
Amber
Do they have to be mini chocolate chips?
Milisa
Hi Amber,
Mini chocolate chips work best but you can use regular chocolate chips or chop them up.

What is the calorie content
Patty Fowler
To die for! Really easy and fun to make. Thank you

How do I make the top smooth?
Milisa
I sometimes use a bit of flour if the dough is a little sticky. Just lightly dust it over, maybe about 1-2 teaspoons and then you can shape it easily. I hope that helps.
~Milisa
Desiree
Is this recipe for 1 log or should this recipe create two large logs as pictured?
Milisa
Hi Desiree,
It should make 2 logs. I hope that helps!

Claire Anderson
Have you tried Gluten Free flour? I love Biscotti and the recipe sounds really good, but will it mess up the Biscotti?
LAYNE HENDERSON
Biscotti is one of my mom's favorite treats... I'll have to make these for her soon!
CC
Hi, I've been looking for a good chocolate chip biscotti recipe and I'm looking forward to trying this one out! It looks great! Did you bake this on a silicone baking mat? Is there a particular one you'd recommend? Thanks so much!
Milisa
Hi CC,
I used a Silpat baking mat, I've also used parchment paper. I hope that helps.

Christine Brown
This is one of the best biscotti recipes I have ever made. I usually spray my hands with spray oil before shaping the dough and that takes care of the stickiness! I also substitute toffee bits or crushed butterfingers for the chocolate chips (12 oz) or a combination of either for some variety! It works every time! I like using the mini chocolate chips for biscotti. Thanks for the great recipient!!
Milisa
Hi Christine,
I am so glad you are enjoying the biscotti! I love your additions of toffee bits and Butterfingers, that is brilliant!
~Milisa
Chelsea
Hi
The video shows one stick of butter but the recipe calls for half a stick ? I used the recipe and my dough came crumbly
Milisa
Hi Chelsea,
You need 1/2 cup of butter which is a whole stick. I hope this helps.
~ Milisa
Jan
Very yummy and easy to make!
Any way to substitute for brown sugar for a diabetic?
Splenda perhaps???
Milisa
Hi Jan,
This is what I found on substituting Splenda - Mix Splenda with molasses, stirring with a fork until well mixed and then further mixing with fingertips until it is of a brown sugar consistency. Measure and use as you would brown sugar. (24 grams Carb in 1 cup Splenda; 16 grams Carb in 1 Tbls molasses= 40 grams Carb per 1 cup brown sugar substitute). I hope that helps!

I wanted to know since I am making these as gifts for my dr. office, how far in advance should these be made and how long do they keep for?
Milisa
Hi Lauren,
Biscotti stays fresh for at least 4 weeks, possibly longer if it lasts that long. Just make sure you keep it in an airtight container after it cools. Biscotti is one of my favorites to bake and share for the holidays.
~Milisa
Lauren K
Thanks so much!
Lorie
Tried this recipe, and the biscotti came out perfect! I like how it's basically a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but baked in a way that makes it a "biscotti". My sons didn't like another recipe that I tried, but they loved this one! And it's very versatile - I'll have to try adding nuts for the next batch! Thanks for posting!
Rieyan
Hi,
First of all I like to thank you for sharing the recipe here..
Biscotti is one of my favourite and especially with chocolate chips in it. I'm hoping to try this out soonest.
One question on the heat setting, did you use the top and bottom heat or any others? Many thanks.
Milisa
Hi Rieyan,
I think my oven uses both and I've made these in a convection oven (with a fan) also. I hope that helps.

Sonya
Hi Milisa loving this I had never heard of biscotti before so I have just made the chocolate chip one it looks so good thanks so much
Milisa
Hi Sonya,
I hope you enjoy it!

Talar
I didn’t have enough chocolate chips, so I used cocoa powder to make it not a chocolate biscotti. Hoping it works out!
Talark
Make it into a**
Jasmine
Hey! Looks so simple! Any idea how long these will last when stored properly?
Milisa
Hi Jasmine,
Biscotti keeps really well. I would expect if stored in an airtight container they will stay fresh about 3 weeks, maybe even longer.
~ Milisa
Rachel
Hey! Using all proper measurements I only got enough dough for one log. Any idea what could’ve gone wrong? I’m going to bake it and hope it turns out!
Milisa
Hi Rachel,
It still should be fine, not sure what could've happened.
~ Milisa
Carlie
Is the dough supposed to spread as it bakes? Mine did not and cracked very bad. I managed to cut and salvage it, and it was delicious I just feel like something went wrong
Milisa
Hi Carlie,
It does usually spread and if it is crumbly, it could have too much flour. I am glad you were able to save and enjoy it.
~ Milisa
Krista
Hi Milisa,
To make them on the softer side, can I bake them just once 22-25 min?
Thanks for your time & help!
Milisa
Hi Krista,
Yes you can just bake them once if you don't want them to be crunchy. They may not stay fresh as long as the twice baked version but will still be delicious.
~ Milisa
Krista
Thanks so much, Milisa! I'm getting over a TMJ flare up & miss my morning biscotti 🙂 Can't wait to try it out!
Niyati
Can you make them with Egg replacer instead of egg?
Milisa
Hi Niyati,
I have not tried using egg replacer but I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work.
