My family loves biscotti, so I combined peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to make another flavor for our biscotti jar. Hubby claims that these are amazing, hence the name: amazing peanut butter cup biscotti. Wrapped in cellophane bags, they are perfect for bake sales.
Preparation Details
Prep Time: 40 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 40 mins
Servings: 30
Ingredients
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter (such as Jif Extra Crunchy)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter chips
- 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl; set aside. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; set aside.
- Beat peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition before adding the next. Add flour mixture alternately with milk mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in peanut butter chips; mixing until just evenly combined. Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a 4×5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick; transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Transfer biscotti loaves to wire racks to cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Cut each loaf into 1/2-inch slices; arrange on baking sheets cut-sides up.
- Bake in the preheated oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes on each side.
- Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
- Dip cooled biscotti into melted chocolate; place onto parchment paper until set, about 20 minutes.
