Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark (bittersweet) chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup dried cherries
- Flour for your hands
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, ground flax seed, ground ginger and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), combine the agave, egg whites, egg and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and dried cherries.
- With flour on your hands, divide the dough into three even pieces, and form each one into a 6-inch log.
- Transfer the logs of cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet and continue to form until the logs are 6 inches long, 2½ inches in width and about 1 inch high.
- Bake until the logs are firm, 25 to 27 minutes. The logs will puff up. Transfer the logs to a wire rack. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Lower the oven heat to 325 degrees F.
- Cut each log on the diagonal into ½-inch pieces. Be sure that the pieces are not too thick; otherwise, they won't bake properly.
- Lay the biscotti, one of the cut sides down, on the baking sheet (you made need to do this in two batches). Bake for 8 minutes. Flip the biscotti and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the biscotti are starting to brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. The centers will harden as the cookies cool.
- Serve or store in an airtight container.
