Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, eggs and peppermint extract.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined. Form dough into 2 balls.
- On the prepared baking sheet, shape each ball into a loaf measuring about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place loaves several inches apart on the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly, about 15 minutes, then slice loaves into ½-inch pieces. (Each loaf should yield 14 to 16 pieces of biscotti.) Arrange sliced biscotti on baking sheet (use 2 sheets if needed), and bake for another 6 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine white chocolate and vegetable oil. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Dip cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate and garnish with crushed peppermint candies. Return biscotti to parchment paper to allow chocolate to set before serving.
