Recipe



***(do not use butter, margarine or oil in Glaze recipes).

Heat oven to 350øF. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until well
blended. Add eggs and almond extract; beat until smooth. Stir together
flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; blend into butter mixture, beating
until smooth. (Dough will be thick.) Using wooden spoon, work almonds
into dough. Divide dough in half. With lightly floured hands, shape each
half into rectangular log about 2 inches in diameter and 11 inches long;
place on large ungr eased cookie sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake 30
minutes or until logs are set. Remove from oven; cool on cookie sheet 15
minutes. Using serrated knife and sawing motion, cut logs into 1/2-inch
diagonal slices. Discard end pieces. Arrange slices, cut sides down,
close together on cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. Turn each slice
over; bake an additional 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on
cookie sheet on wire rack. Dip end of each biscotti in CHOCOLATE GLAZE
or drizzle glaze over entire cookie. Drizzle WHITE GLAZE over chocolate
glaze. Garnish with additional almonds, if desired. About 2-1/2 dozen
cookies.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and 1 tablespoon shortening (do not use

Premier White Chips and 1 teaspoon shortening (do not use butter,
margarine or oil). Microwave at HIGH (100%) 30 to 45 seconds or until
