For those of you that wanted the recipe. Basic Biscotti recipe: 1c sugar 1/2 c butter-softened 2 eggs 1 t of flavoring of choice 3 1/2 c all purpose flour 1 t baking powder 1/2 t salt 1/3 c dried fruit or nuts- chopped, or combination of both Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix first 4 ingredients. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to dry ingredients. Stir in fruit/nuts-I do this step by hand to keep the nuts from breaking up too much. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is a must to keep biscotti from sticking. Divide dough into two equal parts and form into logs 12-14 inches long, flatten to about 1/2inch. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and cut into 1/2 inch cookies. An electric knife is a must for this. Place back on cookie sheet and cook for another 12 minutes. Remove and cool completely. When making chocolate biscotti replace 1/4 c of flour with cocoa powder. Optional: drizzle biscotti with melted chocolate
