INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Adjust the oven rack to center of oven; preheat to 350F.
Line a 14 x 17 cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Sift dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
Place whole eggs, 2 egg whites, and sugar in bowl of electric mixer. Beat
on high speed until thick and lemony, about 4 minutes. Stop machine and
scrape down bowl with rubber spatula. Add vanilla and beat on low speed
until blended, about 10 seconds. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed
until dough starts to come together in a crumbly mass, about 30 seconds.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface (dough will be slightly
sticky). With lightly floured hands, gently knead several ties until dough
begins to hold together in a satiny mass; divide dough into thirds. Shape
into 3 ropes, approximately 11 inches long. Place ropes 2 1/2 inches apart
on lined pan. With fingertips , lightly flatten each into a log 1/2 inch
high, 2 inches wide, and 13 inches long. Brush logs with lightly beaten egg
white.
Bake in preheated oven until logs are golden and firm to the touch, about
25 minutes. Place cookie sheet n wire rack and cool for 8 minutes. Lower
oven temperature to 325F. Transfer logs to cutting board. Leave parchment
on baking sheet. With a serrated knife, cut logs crosswise at a slight
diagonal into 1/2-inch slices. Place half of the slices cut side down on
pan, spacing them 1/2 inch apart. Return pan to oven and bake until
surfaces are lightly toasted, about 7 minutes on each side. Transfer
biscotti to wire rack and cool completely. Reline pan with fresh parchment
and repeat with remaining slices. Biscotti can be stored in a tin lined
with wax paper for 3 weeks.

NOTES : The subtle blending of coffee, cocoa, and cinnamon linger long
after the last bite of these delicate, crispy cookies, delicious dunking
partners with a cup of coffee, cocoa or a glass of cold milk.
