SHORECOOK'S CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat white sugar, butter, and cocoa powder together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix chocolate liqueur and peppermint extract into the sugar-egg mixture.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly mix flour mixture into sugar-egg mixture until fully incorporated; fold mint chocolate chips into the dough.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts and shape into logs. Arrange the logs on the prepared baking sheets.
• Dip a spatula in water and use it to smooth surface of the logs.
• Bake biscotti logs in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool biscotti logs completely on wire racks.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Cut biscotti logs into 3/4-inch slices and arrange on baking sheets.
• Bake in the oven until biscotti are dry, about 10 minutes per side. Cool completely on wire racks.
• Place candy melts in a wide microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until melted, about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
