Chocolate-Peanut Butter Biscotti

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup cocoa
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup finely chopped peanuts
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate mini-morsels divided
  • 1 ½ tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons shortening

Instructions

  1. Beat ⅓ cup peanut butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, beating until blended.
  2. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; add to peanut butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead in peanuts and ½ cup chocolate mini-morsels.
  3. Shape dough into a 13″ x 3″ log on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 40 minutes or until firm. Remove to a wire rack to cool (about 20 minutes).
  4. Cut log diagonally into ½â€³-thick slices with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion; place slices on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 7 minutes; turn cookies over, and bake 7 more minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  5. Combine remaining 1 cup chocolate mini-morsels, 1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter, and shortening in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate and peanut butter melt. Dip one end of each biscotti in chocolate mixture. Place biscotti on wax paper until chocolate hardens.
