    Recipe Introduction


    A drizzle of white chocolate lends these biscotti holiday flair. For contrast, melt semisweet chocolate to drizzle over half the batch.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    1 large egg white
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup instant coffee granules
    3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    3/4 cup dry-roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
    Cooking spray
    1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    3 ounces premium white chocolate, chopped

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Place first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.
    Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, instant coffee granules, cocoa, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg; gradually add to sugar mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in the cashews. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 times. Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a 12-inch-long roll. Place rolls on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat to 3/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle rolls evenly with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

    Bake at 350° for 22 minutes. Remove rolls from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Cut each roll diagonally into 21 (1/2-inch) slices. Carefully stand slices upright on baking sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 325°; bake 20 minutes (the cookies will be slightly soft in center but will harden as they cool). Remove from baking sheet, and cool completely on wire rack. Place chocolate in a small heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; microwave at high 1 minute or until the chocolate is soft. Knead bag until smooth. Snip a tiny hole in corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over biscotti. Yield: 3 1/2 dozen (serving size: 1 biscotti)
