These dark chocolate orange biscotti are crisp, twice-baked Italian cookies flavored with fresh orange zest and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for dunking in coffee or tea, gifting during the holidays, or enjoying as a cozy treat. Easy to make and full of bold citrus-chocolate flavor, these homemade biscotti stay fresh for days.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until light and slightly thickened. Stir in orange zest, vanilla, and melted butter.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chunks.
  6. Divide dough in half. With floured hands, shape each into a 10″x2″ log on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until firm and golden. Let cool 10 minutes.
  8. Slice logs diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces.
  9. Lay slices cut side down and return to oven for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving.

Notes

  • For an extra treat, dip cooled biscotti in melted dark chocolate.
  • Add chopped almonds or hazelnuts for crunch.
  • For a spiced variation, add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
  • Slightly reduce second bake time for softer biscotti.
