peanut butter and chocolate biscotti

ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temp

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup mini chocolate chips

directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Blend with a wire whisk.

In a large bowl, combine the butter, peanut butter and sugar.  Beat on medium-high, until fluffy and smooth (1-2 minutes).  Blend in the vanilla.  Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl between each addition.

On low speed, blend in the dry ingredients just until incorporated.  Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.

Divide the dough in half.  Shape into 11x13 logs.  Place onto the parchment lined baking sheet, about 3 inches apart.

Bake for 30 minutes.  Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Place on a cutting board and using a serrated knife, cut 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices.

Place on baking sheet, cut side down and bake for 10-15 minutes.  Turn them over and bake 10-15 minutes more.  Cool completely and store in an air tight container.
