Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line one baking sheet with parchment and set aside. Set a steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Add the chopped white chocolate to the bowl and turn off the heat. Stir occasionally.

In large bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla.

In another bowl, combine with a whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. With the mixer at low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until just incorporated, then stop the mixer. Pour in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Turn the mixer back on to medium, and let the paddle go only about six or seven revolutions.

Divide the dough in half. Create two long, flattened logs, slightly squared on the sides (about 12 inches long) on the sheet pan. (Squaring the sides prevents the edges of the biscotti from breaking off during slicing.) Bake the logs about 40 minutes on the baking sheet. Cool long enough to handle, about 12 minutes.

Slice the biscotti with a serrated knife on a cutting board into -inch slices and arrange, cut-side down, on the baking sheet. Return the biscotti to the oven for about 10 minutes. Turn them to crisp the other side and bake another 5 minutes. Let the biscotti cool completely.

Using a spoon, drizzle biscotti with the melted white chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Makes 3 to 4 dozen.

Times testing note: Coat hands lightly with oil or spritz with nonstick spray before handling dough to keep it from sticking to you. To drizzle white chocolate, we put it in a sealable plastic bag and snipped a corner. This controls the drizzle better.
