Chocolate Dipped Citrus Biscotti is a classic Italian twice-baked cookie that is perfect for dipping in a hot beverage like coffee or tea. The addition of citrus zest to the recipe lightens the biscotti's taste and adds freshness to each bite. This biscotti recipe is unique in that it does not contain nuts or almond extract. The recipe is easy to follow and uses typical baking ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
3.In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until light and frothy. Add orange and lemon zest to the bowl and beat again. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture in batches and mix well.
4.If the dough feels a bit sticky, sprinkle with a bit of flour and knead for 1-2 minutes until it comes together. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a log shape. Flatten each log so it is about 1 inch high and 3 inches wide.
5.Bake for 25 minutes or until firm and a nice golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 20 minutes.
6.In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time until completely melted. Dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate and set them aside on a wire rack until the chocolate sets.
7.Once the chocolate has hardened, pair up the biscotti and cut them into pieces using a serrated knife.
