Time 2h50m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 eggs
⅓ cup chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva®)
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ⅔ cups mint chocolate chips (such as Hershey's®)
2 (14 ounce) packages white candy melts (confectioners' coating)
6 large peppermint candy canes, crushed

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.
  • Dip cooled biscotti in the melted white candy; sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
