Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 stick unsalted butter -- softened (6

-- tablespoons)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup walnuts -- chopped

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350øF. and butter and flour a large baking sheet.

 

In a bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another

bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and granulated sugar until

light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well. Stir in flour mixture

to form a stiff dough. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips.

 

On prepared baking sheet with floured hands form dough into two slightly

flattened logs, each 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, and sprinkle with

confectioners' sugar. Bake logs 35 minutes, or until slightly firm to the

touch. Cool biscotti on baking sheet 5 minutes.

 

On a cutting board cut biscotti diagonally into 3/4-inch slices. Arrange

biscotti, cut sides down, on baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 10

minutes. Cool biscotti on a rack. Biscotti keep in airtight containers 1 week

and frozen, 1 month.

 

Makes about 30 biscotti.

chocolaty flavor.
