Chocolate Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and peppermint extract until incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide the dough in half and transfer to the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced apart; shape each half into an 8-by-2-inch log. Bake until lightly browned and just firm on the outside, about 25 minutes.
• Remove the logs from the oven and let stand 10 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Transfer the logs to a cutting board; slice crosswise on an angle about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake, flipping halfway through, until dry, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. (The cookies will continue to crisp as they cool.)

On an ungreased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 12x2-1/2-in. rectangle. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a sharp knife into 1/2-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool., In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip 1 end of each slice into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off; sprinkle with candy. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
