Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Butter Melted
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Sourdough Starter Inactive/Unfed
  • 2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Mini

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugar and cream together until light and well mixed.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.
  • Add the starter and mix until well combined.
  • Turn the mixer on slow and add the flour and salt.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into two logs on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the logs or slightly browned.
  • Take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow the logs to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, cut the logs with a serrated knife on a bias. Place the slices on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake them for 15 more minutes to dry out the cookie and crisp the biscotti.
  • They are done when they are slightly brown. Allow the biscotti to cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a serrated knife when cutting the biscotti.  A serrated knife will easily cut through the logs and create the typical biscotti shape.
  • Keep cooled biscotti in a Ziploc bag for up to 2 weeks.
  • It is essential that you bake the biscotti twice to get the hard, crisp, biscotti texture.
