Dark Chocolate Ginger Biscotti

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk, and sugar until light and fluffy with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla and oil until well combined.

3. 3

   With the mixer on low, beat in dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in walnuts, chocolate and ginger by hand with a rubber spatula.

4. 4

   With moistened hands, shape the dough into 2 logs, each about 9 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Bake until set on top, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.

5. 5

   Transfer logs to a cutting board and with a serrated knife, cut each log on the diagonal into 16 slices, each 1/2-inch thick. Return slices to the baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes, turning the biscotti over halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
