Double Chocolate Walnut Biscotti I can't remember where I found this
recipe, but it's easy to make and very tasty. I
like to bake these a bit softer than store bought
biscotti so I can eat them without breaking my
teeth!

Ingredients:
2 cups
flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cups walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup chocolate chips (I recommend Guittard brand
chips)
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter and flour a large baking sheet.
In a bowl wisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, beat together butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined well.
Use wooden spoon and stir flour mixture into butter sugar mixture. It will 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. 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 again --this time for about 10 minutes, or until crisp.
Cool biscotti on a rack.
Biscotti keep in air tight containers 1 week, or frozen for 1 month.
Makes about 30 biscotti.
Serves 12-24 depending on size.
