Amazing Peanut Butter Cup Biscotti

My family loves biscotti, so I brought together 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.

• ¼ cup milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 3

Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5

Mix the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 6

Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Step 7

Beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the peanut butter mixture before adding the next.

Step 9

Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.

Step 10

Fold in the peanut butter chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.

Step 11

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.

Step 12

Roll each section into a 4x5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 13

Transfer the dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.

Step 15

Place biscotti loaves on wire racks to cool.

Step 16

Cut each loaf into 1/2-inch slices.

Step 17

Return the slices to the baking sheets with the cut sides up.

Step 18

Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes on each side.

Step 19

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).

Step 20

Dip the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Set the biscotti onto parchment paper, and allow to set, about 20 minutes.
