Why this Biscotti Is Best

Today’s biscotti is also inspired by cake: Birthday Cake!

• Birthday Cake Biscotti have a buttery flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness.
• They taste like just like funfetti cake baked into crisp crunchy breakfast cookies.
• Serve them for a birthday breakfast, dessert or afternoon treat.
• Delicious with a cup of hot coffee for dunking!

Ingredient Notes

This biscotti dough starts with a simple mixture of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Give it a cake batter twist with these other additions:

• Butter flavoring – This extract gives the biscotti an even richer, more buttery flavor.
• Sprinkles – We used rainbow sprinkles for a festive look! Jimmies sprinkles or round “confetti” sprinkles are perfect.
• White chocolate wafers – Ghirardelli brand is best. The wafers melt smoothly and set up beautifully on the biscotti.

How to Make Biscotti

Making Birthday Cake Biscotti is easier than you might think.

• Mix together the dough ingredients and fold in half of the sprinkles. Shape the dough into two logs and bake for about 25 minutes.
• Now, cut the dough into slices and bake again until golden brown on both sides.
• Dip the tops of cooled biscotti in melted white chocolate. Immediately add the remaining sprinkles on top.

Let the chocolate set for a few minutes, then eat and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

• Can’t find butter flavoring? Swap it out for vanilla extract in this biscotti recipe.
• Flip the biscotti halfway through their second bake to ensure both sides get fully baked.
• Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy within 2 weeks.
• Feel free to use different sprinkle colors for different holidays and occasions!

Birthday Cake Biscotti: such a fun treat! Biscotti is so easy to make, and it’s the perfect breakfast with a hot cup of coffee!

Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon butter flavoring**
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup sprinkles, divided
• 6 ounce Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and butter flavoring.
2. Add flour and baking powder and beat until combined. Fold in 2 Tbsp sprinkles.
3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silpat). Divide dough in half and shape into two 10inch x 2.5inch rectangles. Use flour on your fingertips to keep dough from sticking.
4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove and cool 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut each rectangle into 9-10 slices each. Turn each slice onto it's side. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Flip biscotti onto opposite sides. Bake another 8-10 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
5. Once cooled, dip tops of biscotti into melted white chocolate. Add sprinkles immediately. ENJOY.

Notes

• If you can't find butter flavoring, just swap it out for vanilla extract instead.
