Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground sea salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon orange extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup aquafaba
- water if necessary see note
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips We use Enjoy Life mini chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together and make a well for the wet ingredients. Pour the orange extract, vanilla and the aquafaba into the well and stir until just combined. Add the pecans and chocolate chips and stir until combined. Make sure your hands are clean and begin kneading the dough until the flour is fully incorporated and it forms a ball. If the dough is too crumbly, the flour may be too dehydrated. Add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms a solid ball. You don’t want it to be wet, just pliable.
- Divide the dough evenly into two pieces and form two logs on the cookie sheet that are approximately 12x3 inches. Bake for 25 minutes and remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F
- Gently remove the logs from the cookie sheet and place on a clean hard surface and slice diagonally into 1-inch slices. For best results use a sharp serrated knife and gently saw through the log. Don’t press to hard or you may crack the log. Patience is key! Lay the cookies flat on the cookie sheet and bake for approximately 20 more minutes or until lightly golden brown and firm.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.
- There are two reasons that this happens. 1. They cooled too long before you cut them, causing them to become too hard. 2. They didn't cool long enough and the dough was too hot.
- Yes. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Stale biscotti can be very hard.
- Most likely they were removed from the oven too soon.
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- You can use 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed mixed with 8 tablespoons of water if you don't have aquafaba on hand. Please note, for the best texture, we recommend using the aquafaba.
- Please follow the directions exactly as they're written so you don't have problems slicing the half baked cookies.
