If you don’t have a super sweet tooth, this chai spice biscotti with cinnamon chocolate glaze might be just for you! I incorporated all the best warm spices into this crunchy treat. The dark chocolate adds the perfect touch of sweetness to make this a delicious breakfast treat or dessert.
A fun little fact: biscotti comes from the Italian word “biscotto,” which means twice-cooked. You can draw the conclusion that that’s exactly how biscotti is prepared. We bake the biscotti as one log once, then slice it up to bake them twice. The end result is a snappy, crunchy biscotti that is delicious on its own, and even better dipped in coffee. Unlike cakes or cookies where we want lots of moisture and soft texture, biscotti need as few “heavy” ingredients as possible to keep them light and crunchy.
When forming the two logs out of the dough, make sure you keep your hands lightly floured. The dough will be sticky and hard to work with- just press down on the dough gently but firmly to shape it as quickly as you can. The logs do not have to be symmetrical or identical- no one will shame you if they’re not all the same size!
