ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI
These crisp, chocolate-studded biscotti are good the day you bake them, but they taste even better the next day. For a double coffee hit, serve with a coffee affogato, coffee ice cream or a shot of anise liqueur, like Sambuca.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together the flour, sugars, espresso powder, baking soda, anise seed, salt and chocolate chunks in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together (it will be fairly dry before you knead it). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, squeezing it and pressing it against the surface, until you can form it into a ball, 15 to 20 times. Shape the dough into a flat log about 16 inches long and 2 inches wide. Cut the log in half crosswise. Brush the tops with a little bit of water and sprinkle the top and sides with some turbinado sugar.
- Place the logs side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-inch slices. Place the cookies cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake until golden on the other side, 8 to 10 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The centers will be slightly soft at first, but will crisp up as they cool.
MEXICAN CHOCOLATE WALNUT-CHERRY BISCOTTI
I love to combine flavors and spices from different cultures. These cookies have ground cinnamon in them, which is a classic flavor in Mexican chocolate. They are very crunchy and are loaded with maraschino cherries and toasted walnuts. -Nancy C. Evans, Phoenix, Arizona

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12- by 17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick liner. Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; set aside.
- Using a heavy-duty electric mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter for 3 to 5 minutes at medium speed. Add vanilla extract and espresso. Mix for 10 seconds. Add eggs one at a time, mixing for 10 seconds at medium-low speed after each addition. Add sifted flour mixture and mix at low speed until dough comes together, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips and mix just until chips are evenly incorporated, 15 to 20 seconds.
- Transfer dough to a work surface and divide in two, shaping into balls. Form each ball into a log 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide. Transfer logs to prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Brush tops of logs with egg wash and sprinkle each log with 1 tablespoon raw sugar. Bake until biscotti have spread, have a few cracks and bounce back slightly when pressed with fingertips, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch slices. Place each slice with a cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick liner. Bake until firm, crisp and slightly dry, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.

CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO-PISTACHIO BISCOTTI
I had some pistachios in the freezer that I needed to use up and I developed this recipe. I think it came out quite nicely, not too sweet. Hazelnuts or almonds can be substituted for the pistachios (make sure to toast them first). Let me know what you think!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a large rectangular baking pan with a light coating of olive oil.
- Sift all dry ingredients together.
- In small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in 1/3 cup water.
- Add eggs and olive oil and beat with a whisk until well-combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry, add pistachios and (yes, I do this by hand) start mixing the flour gently into the liquids until all the ingredients have been incorporated and you have a malleable dough.
- If the dough is a bit sticky, sprinkle over 1 tablespoonful of flour and turn dough into the flour to coat.
- Knead the flour in.
- The dough should now be malleable without being sticky.
- If it is still sticky, repeat with another tablespoonful of flour.
- Cut dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into logs that are about 12 inches long and 2 ½ inches wide (every persons logs are slightly different they will spread while baking so have a good distance between them).
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- The biscotti will have risen only slightly, spread out some, and have a cracked surface.
- Cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- With a serrated bread knife and a straight, downwards motion, cut biscotti at just under ½ inch intervals on the diagonal.
- (this will leave you with 6 not-so-nice-looking end pieces that you can munch on there and then) Place the pieces, cut side down, back in the baking pan.
- Not all the pieces may fit, in which case youll have to bake a second pan's worth after the first.
- Staggering two pans is not suggested unless you have a convection oven and can use that feature to make sure there is even heat distributed within the oven.
- Bake 15 minutes, turn pieces over, bake 15 minutes longer.
- Cool completely and keep in an airtight container.
CHOCOLATE WALNUT BISCOTTI
I love biscotti of all sorts, and this recipe, packed with walnuts in a double chocolate dough, is just delicious. Adopted from Mean Chef in September 2006, I have left the original directions intact, but added my comments and notations in parentheses. As presented, this yields about 30 six inch long cookies. If you want smaller biscotti, divide the dough into 3 logs, and reduce your baking time accordingly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (waxed paper will not work, it will smoke.).
- In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the chocolate and sugar and grind until the chocolate is very fine. Set aside.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and the vanilla. Beat at medium speed to blend.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the chocolate and flour mixtures and mix until a stiff dough forms, adding the walnuts when about half mixed.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gather it together. Divide in half. Form each half into a log 12 inches long. (Give the logs plenty of space on both sides as the width of the logs doubles during baking.).
- Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Pat to even up the shapes. Bake until almost firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. (I have found that 40 minutes was sufficient).
- Let cool for 10 minutes. (Do not let it cool for longer as the logs will become brittle and more difficult to slice without breaking.).
- Leave the oven set at 300°F.
- Using a spatula, transfer the logs to a work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut on the diagonal into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Return the slices cut side down to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes. (I baked mine 15 minutes and the biscotti were very crispy).
- Turn the slices over and bake until crispy and dry, about 25 minutes longer. (Again, I found 15 minutes to be good).
- Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Set aside. Put the flour, sugars, baking powder and a good pinch of salt into a large bowl, then stir to combine.
- Whisk the oil, egg, vanilla extract and coffee together in a separate small bowl. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until you have a dry dough. Fold in 100g of the chocolate chips. Knead the dough until smooth - it will be quite dry, but if it's too difficult to knead, add another 1 tbsp water. Divide the dough in half, shaping each piece into a 25 x 8cm log, and transfer both to the prepared tray. Bake for 25-30 mins, then leave to cool on the tray for 15 mins.
- Reduce the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Slice the biscotti logs into 1-2cm-thick slices crosswise using a sharp knife, you should have about 16. Return to the tray and bake for 15-20 mins more, turning the tray around halfway through. Leave to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, then dip one end of the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Transfer to a sheet of baking parchment and leave to set. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO OR CINNAMON BISCOTTI WITH WALNUTS
Steps:
- 1. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12- by 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or mist with nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan aside. 2. Place the brownie mix, walnuts, espresso granules, flour, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Make a well in the center and add the oil, eggs, and vanilla. With a wooden spoon stir together the liquid ingredients and gradually stir the dry into the wet. Stir until the batter is well combined. The dough will become very stiff, and you may need to use your hands to combine it. Divide the dough into thirds. 3. With your hands, shape each third of dough into an 8-inch log. Place each log on the baking sheet and flatten them into rectangular loaves about 2 1/2 inches wide. The loaves need to be 2 to 3 inches apart on the pan. Place the pan in the oven. Bake until the biscotti loaves are almost done but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the loaves cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them with a metal spatula to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a bread knife into 3/4-inch slices. Turn the slices cut side down on the baking pan and return the pan to the oven to bake 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until crisp. 4. Remove the pan from the oven, and transfer the biscotti to wire racks to cool, 20 minutes. You may serve them as is, or dust them with confectioners' sugar (place the sugar in a large zipper-lock bag, add a few biscotti at a time, shake, then remove). Or you may dip an end of each biscotti into melted chocolate, or drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of biscotti.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and walnuts and mix on low speed until just combined. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it in two. Directly on the lined baking sheet, form each portion into logs about 1-1/2 inches wide and 3/4-inch tall. (If the dough is sticky, dust your hands with flour.) Leave about 4 inches of space between the logs to allow the dough to spread. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Once cool, transfer the cookie logs to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife and a sawing motion, cut the logs diagonally into generous 1/2-inch slices. (They will look a little undercooked in the middle.) Arrange the cookies, cut side down, back on the lined baking sheet; return to the oven and cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden on the underside. Remove the biscotti from the oven and flip over; cook 5-7 minutes more, until lightly golden all over. Let cool on the baking sheet completely before serving.
