INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients (except the nuts) together in a bowl. In a seperate bowl mix the liquids. Mix the liquids into the dry ingredients until the dough is stiff. Do not overmix. Stir in the nuts. Shape the dough into 2 flattish logs 3" wide and approximately 15 " long. Place the logs on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 mins. at 350. Remove from oven and let cool to the touch. Using a bread knife, slice the log on diagonal into 3/4" slices. Place the pieces back on the cookie sheet, side down. Bake again for 15" until the cookies are golden brown. (Turn slices over 1/2 way thru second baking.) Makes 4 doz. Calories: 92 Fat: 2 grams NOTES : These are the classic hard biscotti. The best, I think. I vary these by using anisette and anise extract....or anisette and lemon extract in place of the Frangelico and almond extract, omitting the nuts.
