Marbled biscotti are crisp, twice-baked cookies swirled with chocolate and vanilla dough. These elegant, lightly sweet treats are perfect for dunking in coffee or gifting during the holidays.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture to form a soft dough.
  6. Divide the dough in half. Mix cocoa powder into one half to create chocolate dough.
  7. Lightly knead or twist the vanilla and chocolate doughs together to create a marbled effect—do not overmix.
  8. Shape dough into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  11. Slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces using a serrated knife.
  12. Place slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes per side, until crisp.
  13. Let biscotti cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the doughs when marbling to keep the swirls defined.
  • Use a serrated knife and gentle pressure to avoid crumbling during slicing.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
