The rich sesame flavor adds a subtle creaminess that perfectly complements the sweetness of the chocolate chips, making each piece both indulgent and sophisticated.

Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 40 minutes mins
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

1 flax egg sub 1 large egg beaten
3 tbsp tahini, or other drippy nut/seed butter (48 g)
1/4 cup sugar (48 g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour (135 g) gf all purpose if desired
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips (45 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a medium bowl, combine flax with water and let it thicken 10 minutes.
Add tahini, sugar, vanilla and mix until well blended.
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt. Stir this into the wet ingredients until a heavy dough forms.
If it’s still sticky add more flour 1 tbsp at a time. Fold in chocolate.
Form a long roll of dough (use a lightly floured surface if it helps) and place on the cookie sheet.
Press down to about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake until golden brown about 20-25 minutes. Let the baked roll cool for a few minutes.
Slice into 16 and place the slices cut side up back on to the cookie sheet. Bake another 5-10 minutes until nicely toasted.
Let biscotti cool completely and enjoy!

Notes

To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
We let our biscotti stay nice and crunchy in room temperature. They were consumed pretty quickly but I’ll bet they’ll stay fresh a few days at least!
