Cookie Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
- 1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) real semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds
Chocolate Coating Ingredients:
- 1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) real semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Add 2 cups melted chocolate chips, eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed. Stir in hazelnuts by hand.
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 14-inch long roll. Place rolls 5 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each roll to 2-inch width. Bake for 25 minutes or until set. Cool on cookie sheet 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Cut rolls diagonally into 1/2-inch slices with serrated knife. Place onto cookie sheet, cut-side down. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn slices; continue baking for 12 to 15 minutes or until dry and crisp. Cool completely.
Melt 2 cups chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (2 to 4 minutes). Dip cookies halfway into chocolate. Place onto cooling rack over waxed paper until set. Yield: 4 1/2 dozen biscotti
