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.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- Place butter, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, olive oil in a separate mixing bowl. Mix together thoroughly until mixture has a creamy texture. Add 1 egg; mix into butter/sugar mixture.

Transfer both pieces to prepared baking sheet leaving about 3 or 4 inches of space between them to allow for spreading.
- Bake in center of preheated oven until turning golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cut each piece at a slight angle into 1/2- to 1 -inch thick slices with a serrated knife. Transfer pieces back to baking sheet in a single layer. Bake 12 minutes; remove from oven and flip pieces over. Return pan to oven and bake until biscotti are golden brown and crunchy, about 20 minutes.

CRYSTALLIZED GINGER BISCOTTI WITH ALMONDS AND WHITE CHOCOLATE
The flavour and texture of this biscotti is very light, easier to bite into than some recipes. You could dip the finished, cooled cookies into additional melted white chocolate but I don't like the ginger flavour to be over-powered by the chocolate so I leave them as is.

GINGER BISCOTTI WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE
Last year a company called Nonni's put out a Ginger Biscotti with White Chocolate. They were SOOOO additive! Since I don't find them in the store this year I went on the net looking. Here is what I found from Better Baking. My Lemon Almond Biscotti recipe #65536 tells you how to many them in the long flatten log shape if you want to bake them in that shape. You'll have to bake them twice using that recipe. Serving will very. Our son made these for the Webster County Fair when he was in 4-H and won a Blue Ribbon.

ORANGE - GINGER BISCOTTI
This recipe is from November 1996 Family Circle Magazine. Putting two of my favorite flavors, citrus and ginger together into another of my favorites Biscotti...OMG have I died and gone to heaven? Although a little time is invested in making Biscotti, it is well worth the effort. Besides being a great snack to go with your coffee or tea in the morning it also is great in Gift Baskets with designer coffees or teas. Simply wrap the Biscotti in the colored plastic wrap that is offered for sale during the holidays.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F with rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside. Place the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat on high until fluffy and light, about 2 minutes. Add the vegetable oil and almond extract, and beat until the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce mixer to low and beat in the flour mixture. The dough will be quite thick. Knead in the nuts.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Flour your fingers and divide the dough in half. Transfer one portion of the dough to one long side of the prepared baking sheet and mold it into a smooth log 14 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inch high. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough, and place it 2 inches away from the first log.
- Bake for 30 minutes until light brown and slightly puffed. Remove pan from oven, but do not turn it off.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the logs in 3/4-inch slices on a slight diagonal. Take care not to tear the parchment or silicone pan liner. Arrange the slices, standing upright, on the baking sheet leaving 1 inch between cookies. Return to the oven and bake 10 minutes longer, until the cut surfaces of the cookie have browned slightly and the biscotti are dry to the touch. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
- Melt 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate with 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in the microwave. Scrape the chocolate onto a shallow plate and dip one long flat side of each cookie in the chocolate so it comes halfway up the sides. Place each dipped cookie on a wire rack, uncoated side down. Let the chocolate set.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced, with one rack in the center. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 325°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Put the chocolate and 1/2 cup of the flour mixture in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 1 minute, until the chocolate is very finely ground. Remove from the processor and mix with the remaining flour mixture.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together at high speed until pale and thick. Beat in the vanilla and almond extract. Reduce the speed and gradually mix in the flour and chocolate mixture. Turn off the mixer and stir in the almonds.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each part into a log 12 to 14 inches long and 2 inches wide and place on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing the logs at least 4 inches apart. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until firm to the touch.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F.
- Slide the baked logs onto a cutting board. Using a long serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the biscotti cut side down on two or three cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Place them in the oven on multiple racks and bake for 7 to 8 minutes on one side, turning the cookies over to bake for 7 to 8 more minutes. Remove the biscotti to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container for about a month, or freeze them for up to 5 months.

There's nothing better than a hot cup of joe and a crispy biscotti. Unless, of course, you're enjoying them at a cafe in Italy! :) I was always intimidated to make these, but found them to be a sinch to make and can't wait to try them again.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, zest, and salt. Stir in almonds and ginger.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla; stir into flour mixture. (Dough will appear very dry but will come together when kneaded.)
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth. Divide dough in half; shape into two logs, each about 1 inch high and 3 inches wide. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Bake until logs are puffed and outside is firm (the tops may crack), about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Using a serrated knife, thinly slice the logs crosswise, 1/4 inch thick. Lay slices on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until crisp and lightly golden, rotating pans and turning biscotti over halfway through, 20 minutes total. Cool completely before serving or storing.
ALMOND AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until the mixture thickens and holds its shape, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then mix in the almonds and chocolate.
- On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough in half. Using dampened hands, shape each half into a log 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter. Set the logs lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spacing them apart. Dampen your hands and smooth the surface of the logs.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheet midway through baking, until the logs are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. (They will flatten out during baking.) Remove the baking sheet from the oven and decrease the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board. With a serrated bread knife, cut each log diagonally into slices 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick. Place the cookies, cut sides up, in a single layer on the baking sheet. (If necessary, use an additional baking sheet.) Bake until the biscotti are firm, about 20 minutes, flipping them midway through baking. Let cool completely; they'll continue to firm up as they cool.
- Storage
- The biscotti will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Variation
- You can substitute 1 1/2 cups (240 g) chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate, if you like, although I prefer the irregularity of chocolate chunks in these cookies.
