• Add flours, sugars, two tablespoons of hazelnuts, baking soda, and salt in a food processor, and processor until hazelnuts are ground.
• Add ground coffee, and pulse two times or until mixture is blended.
• With processor on, slowly add Kahlua mixture through the food chute, processing until dough forms a ball.
• Add remaining six tablespoons of hazelnuts, and pulse five times or so until well blended. Dough will be sticky.
• Turn dough out on a floured surface, kneading lightly four or five times. Divide into three equal portions, shaping eahc portion into a 10"-long roll.
• Place rolls 3" apart on a baking sheet coated with baking spray. Flatten slightly.
• Bake at 300 for 28 minutes. Remove from oven, and remove rolls from baking sheet; cool for ten minutes on a wire rack.
• Cut each roll diagnoally into 20 half-inch slices. Place the slices, cut sides down, on baking sheets. Bake at 300 for 20 minutes.
• Turn cookies over and bake an additional ten minutes.
• Remove cookies from baking sheets; cool completely on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, then beat in the hazelnuts.
• Divide the dough in half and put on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly dust your hands and the dough with flour, then shape each piece into an 11-by-2-inch log, about 5 inches apart. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until puffed and set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer the logs to a cutting board. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Slice the logs crosswise 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake, turning the cookies halfway through, until dry, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely (they will harden as they cool).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In another medium bowl combine the butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Add the hazelnuts and stir until just combined.
• Using a tablespoon measure, spoon out the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, spacing the mounds about 4 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork to flatten the cookie dough. Bake until lightly golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil.
• Beat eggs, sugar and coffee granules in a med. bowl with electric mixer until coffee granules dissolve and mixture is thick.
• Fold in 1/2 cup flour, nuts and remaining 1/2 cup flour until well blended.
• Spoon batter into a gallon size zipper-type plastic bag and snip off a corner to make a 1/2" wide opening (or use pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2" round tip).
• Pipe nine 12" long strips crosswise 1" apart on prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake 6-8 min. until strips look dry and spring back when lightly touched. Do not brown.
• Remove from oven. (Increase temperature to 400 degrees).
• Let cool on sheet 1-2 min.
• While still warm, peel 1 strip at a time from foil, place on a cutting board and with a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 20 slices.
• Remove foil from cookie sheet. Scatter slices over ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 10-12 min., turning slices once with a metal pancake turner, until dry and toasted.
• Slide cookies onto countertop to cool completely. Store loosely covered in a cool, dry place up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Grind 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts in processor. Set aside. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Beat butter and sugar in another large bowl to blend. Add eggs and vanilla and almond extracts and beat until well blended. Beat in flour mixture. Mix in 1 cup whole toasted hazelnuts, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts.
• Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece on baking sheet into 2 1/2-inch-wide by 14-inch-long log. Place logs on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 1/2 inches apart (logs will spread during baking). Bake until logs feel firm when tops are gently pressed, about 35 minutes. Cool logs on baking sheet 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
• Using long wide spatula, transfer baked logs to cutting board. Using serrated knife, cut warm logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices, cut side down, on 2 baking sheets. Bake biscotti until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool completely. (Chocolate-Hazelnut Biscotti can be prepared ahead. Store in airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl, then add the orange zest, hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Fold into the egg mix to make a soft dough. Tip onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a 25cm sausage shape with lightly floured hands, then transfer to baking sheet. Flatten to a 3cm thickness, then bake for 30 mins until lightly browned on top.
• Remove and slide onto a chopping board, then reduce the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Cut the log into 1cm thick slices and return to the baking sheet, cut-sides up. Bake for 10-15 mins until crisp, then cool on a wire rack. Will keep in a tin for 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast 10 to 15 minutes, until they give off a nutty aroma and skins begin to blister. Shake pan occasionally. Let cool, then rub nuts vigorously between a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Coarsely chop half of them; set all aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, anise seeds, zest, and salt. Beat together eggs, yolks, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients, and mix until a sticky dough is formed. Work in chopped and whole nuts.
• Turn out onto a well-floured board, and divide into two portions. With floured hands, roll into logs about 12 inches long, and transfer to a greased and floured baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees.
• Using a serrated knife, slice logs on an angle into bars about 1/2 inch thick. Return to cookie sheet cut side up, and bake until lightly toasted and hard, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely. Biscotti will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
