ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALMOND BISCOTTI
This is one of our favorite biscotti recipes-it is simply superb with a cup of hot, spiced Chai tea! It's also excellent if 3/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries are added!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Spray large baking sheet (12x19-inch) with Pam or oil.
- If using whole, unblanched almonds, boil 2 cups water in microwave and place almonds in water for about 5 minutes. Remove skins and chop coarsely.
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- Cream sugars and butter until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add eggs, almond and vanilla extracts, stir until well mixed.
- Add the dry ingredients, including the almonds and mix well. Dough should be very thick and sticky. If it is too sticky to hold a shape you can use powdered sugar to thicken it - just be sure to mix the powdered sugar into the dough thoroughly.
- Coat a flat surface (counter or cutting board) with powdered sugar and place dough onto it.
- Divide dough into two balls and form roughly into a rectangle about 5x10-inch. Brush off excess powdered sugar and place biscotti dough onto the baking sheet.
- Repeat with the other dough ball and place both logs side by side on the cookie sheet.
- Bake 30 minutes until dry. Allow to cool 10 minutes.
- Slice each log into 18 slices, about 1/2 inch each.
- Place sliced biscotti back onto cookie sheet and bake an additional 10 minutes. Turn slices over and bake 10 more minutes (if desired).
- Cool biscotti on a rack.
- Can dip or stripe in white or dark chocolate.
- Note: Store biscotti in an airtight container to retain freshness. If biscotti loose their crispiness, just pop them into a 300F oven for 5-10 minutes!

CHEF JOHN'S ALMOND BISCOTTI
My version is pretty straightforward--a classic Italian dipping cookie. But you can add hazelnuts, pistachios, and any type of dried fruit. Or dip them in dark chocolate.
