The "Bis" means twice and "Cotti" means cooked --- and our recipe for
these crisp, cruncy cookies does just that. They are best when dipped
in hot coffee, cocoa or milk for a few seconds until softened, then
eaten right away.  Preheat oven to 400^.  Toast nuts until browned,
about 8 minutes; let  cool.  Use metal blade in food processor work
bowl to finely chop zest and  granulated sugar, about 60 seconds.  Add
brown sugar, extracts,  margarine and eggs; process until combined,
about 5 seconds. Add nuts  and dry ingredients and pulse until
combined, about 12 times.  Transfer dough to floured surface; roll into
two 12" logs. Pat logs  to 2 1/2" wide. Place 3" apart on lightly
greased baking sheets. Beat  egg white slightly and brush over surface
of logs. Bake 20 minutes  until firm and lightly browned. Remove from
oven; reduce heat to  325^. While still warm, cut logs diagonally into
1/2" slices, lay cut  side down on sheets. Bake 15 minutes more until
dry. Cool on whire  racks.  Store in plastic food storage bag or tin
for up to 1 month.  Nutritional analysis:  Calories 46, Saturated fat
