    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1-3/4 cups mini chocolate baking bits, divided
    1 cup slivered almonds, toasted*
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 tablespoons instant coffee granules

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350
    Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside.
    In large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    Beat in eggs and vanilla.
    In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; blend in creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff.
    Stir in 1-1/4 cups mini chocolate baking bits and nuts.
    Divide dough in half. Add cocoa powder and coffee granules to 1/2 of dough, mixing to blend.
    On well-floured surface, gently knead doughs together just enough to marble.
    Divide dough in half, gently roll each half in 12x2" log; place on prepared cookie sheets at least 4" apart.
    Press remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate baking bits onto outside of both logs.
    Bake 25 minutes. Dough will spread.
    Cool logs 15 to 20 minutes. Slice each log into 12 slices; arrange on cookie sheet cutside down.
    Bake an additional 10 minutes. (For softer biscotti, omit second baking.)
    Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container

    Makes 24 pieces

    *To toast almonds, spread in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes until light golden, stir occasionally. Remove almonds from pan and cool completely before using
