Nutella Biscotti

If your family is anything like mine - you have your fair share of holiday traditions.    My family specializes in food-centered Christmas traditions - I think its our Italian genes. 🇮🇹😅I mean, is it really Christmas if we don't roast chestnuts or make homemade tiramisu or eat 7 fishes on Christmas eve?  I also feel like every year we add to our list of special meals, festive drinks and stockpile of sweets that we need to consume in order to properly celebrate the season. 🤣🍝🌰 

We always have biscotti on our Christmas menu and my way of shaking up our family traditions is to add a fun new biscotti flavor to our breakfast table.  (Life on the wild side.😂) This year, I'm introducing my family to Nutella biscotti.  🤞🏻I feel like it's a safe bet though- who doesn't love a chocolatey hazelnut spread?  

Nutella Biscotti
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
½ cup nutella
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup hazelnuts, chopped

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Beat eggs in mixing bowl until frothy.

Add sugar and beat on high for 2 minutes. 

Beat in nutella. 

Add dry ingredients and stir until combined.  

Stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts. 

Divide dough in half. 

Shape each half into a log and place on silpat lined baking sheets. 

Bake 20 minutes at 350.  Reduce heat to 300.  

Let cool 10 minutes and slice into 1/2" slices. 

Place flat side down on baking sheet and bake 10 minutes.  Flip and bake another 10 minutes.  

These biscotti are safely tucked away in the freezer for an official unveiling on Christmas Eve. 🤫Now that the cats out of the bag - I'm kindly asking all family members to NOT look through the freezer in search of a sample the Nutella biscotti.  😂

Ciao!
