Ingredients
-
2 cups white sugar
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
4 eggs
-
⅓ cup chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva®)
-
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
-
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
4 teaspoons baking powder
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
1 ⅔ cups mint chocolate chips (such as Hershey's®)
-
2 (14 ounce) packages white candy melts (confectioners' coating)
-
6 large peppermint candy canes, crushed
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Beat white sugar, butter, and cocoa powder together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix chocolate liqueur and peppermint extract into the sugar-egg mixture.
-
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly mix flour mixture into sugar-egg mixture until fully incorporated; fold mint chocolate chips into the dough.
-
Divide dough into 4 equal parts and shape into logs. Arrange the logs on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Dip a spatula in water and use it to smooth surface of the logs.
-
Bake biscotti logs in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool biscotti logs completely on wire racks.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
-
Cut biscotti logs into 3/4-inch slices and arrange on baking sheets.
-
Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes per side. Cool completely on wire racks.
-
Place candy melts in a wide microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until melted, about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
-
Dip cooled biscotti in the melted white candy; sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Cook's Notes:
If candy canes are not available, a bag of hard peppermint candy may be substituted.
Crush candy canes by placing in a resealable plastic bag (unzipped) and hitting with a meat tenderizing tool.
