  • 0.06 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
  • 0.09 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 Large Eggs
  • 0.13 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  • 0.13 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 0.03 teaspoon Salt

Directions: Red Velvet Biscotti Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • STEP 2.In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  • STEP 3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • STEP 4.Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
  • STEP 5.Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  • STEP 6.Using a serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
  • STEP 7.Once baked, remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
  • STEP 8.Serve the Red Velvet Biscotti with a hot cup of coffee or package them up as a homemade gift for friends and family.

Cooking Tips

  • For a more intense red color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring.
  • To add extra flavor, you can mix in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough before shaping it into logs.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, reduce the second baking time to achieve a slightly chewier biscotti.

Storage and Serving

  • Store the Red Velvet Biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Serve them as a delicious treat with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
  • These biscotti also make a great homemade gift for holidays or special occasions.
