The word biscotti means "twice baked," and these Italian specialties
do go into the oven twice: The dough, formed into a log, is baked
until firm, and then the logs are sliced and rebaked to produce crisp
cookies that are traditionally served with a beverage for dunking. To

to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick  spray; set aside.
Place the hazelnuts in a baking pan and toast for 8  to 10 minutes, or
until the skins loosen and the nuts are lightly  browned. Place the
hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and rub to remove the  skins. Finely chop
the nuts; set aside. Reduce the oven temperature  to 325 degrees. In a
large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder,  baking soda and salt; set
aside. In another large bowl, with an  electric mixer at medium speed,
beat the sugar, eggs, egg white,  orange zest and vanilla until well
combined.  With the mixer at low speed, gradually add the dry
ingredients and  hazelnuts, and beat until well combined. Turn the
dough out onto a  lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into two
12-inch-long logs.  Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and
bake for 20 to 25  minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned
and the tops are  set. Remove the logs to a wire rack to cool for about
10 minutes,  then cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Return the  slices to the baking sheet and bake for another 10 to 15
minutes  (turning the biscotti once halfway through baking), or until
lightly  toasted all over. Transfer the biscotti to wire racks to cool
completely.  Makes 40 cookies; serving size 1.  Posted to
