Banana Chocolate-Chip Biscotti
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup mashed very ripe banana (about 1 medium-sized banana)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs (at room temperature)
3 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease large cookie sheet
Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in small bowl. Set aside.
Beat sugar and butter in large bowl on medium speed. Beat in banana, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Stir in flour-mixture until well-combined. Then stir in chocolate chips.
Divide dough in half --shape each half into a long rectangle on the greased cookie sheet. (dough will be sticky, greasing your hands might help)
Bake about 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes on cookie sheet.
Cut crosswise through the biscotti-log to make about 32 one-half inch thick slices. Lay slices cut-side down on cookie sheet, bake 10-12 minutes or until the top is golden brown and dry; turn slices and bake about 10 minutes longer until golden brown. Remove from oven; cool biscotti on wire rack.
Things I will try next time:
- Dipping one end in melted chocolate
- Adding some chopped pecans or walnuts
