Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1/2 cup crushed candy cane
1/2 cup milk chocolate discs, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 F.
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites.
Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, mix until moist.
Add crushed candy canes and mix again until combined. Batter will have a look of crumbles but will come together when you form it.
On a floured surface, divide batter in half.
Pat each into a log about 14 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide.
Place logs on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 300 F.
Cut biscotti diagonally into 1/2 inch slices.
Stand them upright on the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Dip one end of the biscotti in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed candy cane. Let cool.
Enjoy!
