Chocolate Chip Biscotti

Ingredients for the biscotti

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup granulated Sugar

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 large eggs
Pinch of salt

For the egg wash

1 large egg white, beaten

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 5 minutes; the mixture will hold together in a soft dough. Add chocolate chips and fold in batter with spatula. Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and place on a very lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Use the palms of your hands to roll each piece on your work surface into a rope 1 inch in diameter. Each rope should be even and fit on your baking sheet lengthwise. Place 2 of the biscotti ropes on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet (You will only have room for 2 as they expand when baking) With a pastry brush lightly brush each rope with egg-white. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Use serrated knife to slice the biscotti on a diagonal into 1/2 inch thick cookies. The cookies will harden as they cool.
