Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 sharp kitchen knife
  • 1 large cutting board
  • 1 Large Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
 
 

  • cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer), cream together the sugar and butter with the paddle attachment on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the sourdough discard and vanilla and continue to stir on medium speed until just combined.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients over low speed until almost fully mixed.
  • Remove the bowl and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir in the chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into roughly two equal sized pieces.
  • Use generously floured hands to shape each dough half into a rectangle that measures approximately 12 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. If the dough becomes too sticky, add more flour to your hands and work surface as needed.
  • Place each dough log on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the dough feels firm to the touch and the top has started to crack.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer each large biscotti to a cutting board and use a large serrated knife or sharp kitchen knife to cut the biscotti into 1 inch wide pieces.
  • Arrange the individual biscottis to the baking sheet, cut side up.
  • Bake for another 30 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through.
  • Allow to cool completely before serving.
