Nutella Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar and continue beating on high setting for 2 minutes. Beat in Nutella. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts, if using. Divide dough into 2 or 3 logs with well floured hands and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press logs into rectangles roughly ½ inch thick. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Remove logs from oven and turn the heat down to 300°F. Using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/3-1/2 inch slices. Arrange on baking sheet and return to oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Turn biscotti over and bake an additional 10-12 minutes (depending upon the thickness of your slices). Remove to a wire rack to cool. DRIZZLE: 1/4 cup Nutella 1/4 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons boiling water (add more if not thin enough) When cool, in a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup Nutella, powdered sugar and boiling water until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cookies with fork or dip one end of each cookie into glaze. Dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour to set the glaze. Store in an airtight container. Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until the butter browns and gets a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar while beating. Then slowly add the butter and vanilla until evenly mixed, about 30 seconds more. Add the Nutella and mix until combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt together and mixing slowly, add the dry ingredients to the wet, in 2 additions, mixing just until absorbed. Fold in the chocolate pieces and hazelnuts. Divide the dough evenly into thirds, and put each portion in the center of a baking sheet. Shape the dough with slightly wet hands into logs about 2inches wide and 15 inches long. Bake until set and brown around the edges, about 25-30 minutes. (For even baking take care to rotate the pans-top to bottom and front to back-about half way though.) Cool logs on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Cut logs crosswise, with a long serrated knife at about a 45 degree angle, into ½ inch thick cookies. Place cookies cut side down on the baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake until crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip the cookies over and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes more. Cool biscotti on the baking sheets. Alternate recipe: Try substituting peanut butter for Nutella and ½ cup of Cocoa Powder for ½ cup of the flour.
