Chocolate Chip Biscotti - crispy on the edges and filled with chocolate chips, this classic cookie is perfect served with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
I love to serve these cookies with my Skinny Pumpkin Latte or dip them into my White Chocolate Coconut Latte.
CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI
They are delicate and crunchy like a real biscotti should be. These biscotti are easy to make and do not require you to dedicate a whole afternoon to it. As I said, it's enough we have been robbed of an hour already. I went with this simple version that you can easily pair with your morning coffee, cappuccino or whatever makes your cup happy. Most biscotti recipes use all white sugar. I went all light brown to imitate the chocolate chip cookie. It's like a fancied-up version of it, in a biscotti form. 🙂 Me like!

Not as hard or crisp as a traditional biscotti as these are more moist and cookie-like. (I would think that's due to the use of brown sugar rather than white.)
Nevertheless, they were a hit with the biscotti eaters in this house. I'll put them in my rotation with the traditional recipe I use.
Anna says
Thank you so much, Kathleen!
Anita at Hungry Couple says
Oh, I totally agree about that extra hour! And I love biscotti. One of these days, I'll actually make them myself...
Kate | Food Babbles says
Oh ny goodness! That one hour less sleep is the worst. It always takes my kids a few days to balance back out so it's just days of awful, sleep deprived crankiness in our house. On another note, your first experience with making biscotti? Perfection!! Love the chocolate chips and they look absolutely flawless. Great job!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Aww, thank you, Kate! 🙂 Hopefully we can get rid of the crankiness soon! 🙂

I love that we have extra daylight... the loss on a hour.. sucks!! My kids don't want to go to bed on time and they are a bear to get up in the morning. Now if had these biscotti to bribe them with... maybe I would have an easier time. :o)
CrunchyCreamySw says
Oh, I know exactly what you mean about bedtime 🙂 Thanks, Ramona!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Totally 🙂 Thanks, Sally!

CrunchyCreamySw says
🙂 Thanks so much, Aimee!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
I just can't hate on daylight savings - having daylight during my post-work hours is so marvelous and uplifting. I feel like a new person! But this chocolate chip biscotti looks like the perfect grumpiness cure. I'll keep it in mind for my grumpy days!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Chocolate is a cure for bad mood, right? 🙂 Thanks, Amanda!
Tina S says
I will try any new sweet to get the same traditional chocolate chip cookie taste! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hope you'll feel more rested soon!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Thank you so much, Tina! Let me know if you happen to try these!
Jean (Lemons & Anchovies) says
Aren't biscotti fun? I really like the chocolate chips in yours, which reminds me...it's been far too long since I whipped up a batch. Yours looks perfect!
PS: I know what you mean about that extra hour in the morning--I've been missing it, too!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Thank you so much, Jean!
CrunchyCreamySw says
It really is! I hope you give it a try, Eileen!
Colette says
Food always makes me feel better, too, Anna!
CrunchyCreamySw says
Right? 🙂 Thanks, Colette!
Nicole says
This hour less of time thing has my whole sleep schedule way off! I can't get to bed until 1 am now. Walking zombie is right. I think I need one of these biscotti's and a tall mug of coffee.
CrunchyCreamySw says
Yes! Good to know I am not the only one 🙂 Thanks so much, Nicole!
CrunchyCreamySw says
I saw that biscotti and boy, does it look scrumptious! Thanks, Marcie!
Jen says
I love these photos and the biscotti looks so yummy. I have to admit I'm happy about DST now that I have natural light. I was so excited yesterday when it was 4pm and I realized I had time to take photos. But I'm definitely wiped out.
CrunchyCreamySw says
DST is good as I was struggling with natural light too... It will take me at least a week to get used to it though. 🙂 Thanks, Jen!
