My kids love biscotti! Who knew?

Okay, so in a fit of rainy day boredom, I decided to make some biscotti for work tomorrow. The kids gobbled it up! Even without coffee to dunk it! Who knew? So here you go, my slightly pirated recipe, I stole it (partially) from Rocco DiSpirito and modified it so now it's just a Jodie recipe:

Jodie's Chocolate Chip Biscotti:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups flour (I use whole wheat but all-purpose is fine, carb lovers!)
1 tbsp baking powder
Chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper (I recommend parchment paper, easier clean up and no added oil!) Beat oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Combine flour and baking powder, stir into egg mixture to make a heavy dough. Add chocolate chips (I estimated about 3/4 cup, but add as many or as few as you like) and work into dough with hands. Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a roll as long as cookie sheet. Place on sheet and flatten until 1/2 inch thickness. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool on wire rack until able to handle. Slice into 1/2 inch slices(cut on angle), place cut-side upon cookie sheet and bake for 6-10 minutes on each side until lightly toasted. Cool completely. Melt and drizzle with both white and milk or dark chocolate for a pretty finish and added chocolate kick!

Serve with coffee, espresso, or lattes (my favorite!) Store in airtight container.


Yes, I'm domestic. I'm actually wearing an apron right now. Granted, it has rhinestones and says "Queen of Everything" but it's an apron nonetheless.

Just call me June Cleaver. Seriously, I DO vacuum in heels. Big surprise there, too, huh? That probably has more to do with my shoe addiction than my domesticity, but still. Give a girl some credit.

Happy Sunday!
