Brownie Biscotti

Recipe View Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and smooth. (5 minutes) Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. (2 minutes) In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until well blended. The dough will be stiff. (7 minutes) Mix in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Divide the dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 9x2x1 inch loaf. (8 minutes) Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 4 inches apart. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the loaves with the egg wash. (4 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the loaves are firm to the touch. (Baking time: 20-25 minutes) Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)

Recipe View Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the cooled loaves diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. (10 minutes) Arrange the slices on the baking sheet, placing them on their sides. Return the slices to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until they are dry and crisp. (Baking time: 20-30 minutes total)

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. (Cooling time: 30 minutes) Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
