Biscotti from scratch- Chocolate Almond

I got this recipe from a friend (Linda) years ago. It's one of my favorite recipes and I make it often for Christmas. Sorry no pictures for this one but trust me it's easy and wonderful!


Ingredients:
1 1/2 c white flour
1/3 c unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
6 tbs softened butter
3/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 c chopped slivered almonds
1/2 c mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 square (1 oz) white chocolate melted (or you can use melting chocolates)


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small bowl, stir first 3 ingredients; set aside. In mixer at high speed, cream butter and sugar till fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla; at low speed. Stir in flour mixture until just combined; fold in nuts and chips.


On a large foil lined cookie sheet, spoon dough to form a loaf that is about 9" long by 5" wide. Bake 18-20 min. or until top springs back when lightly touched.


Remove sheet to rack to cool for 15 min. Reduce oven to 300 degrees. Cut loaf crosswise into 1" slices. Place cut side up on cookie sheet. Bake 15 min. then turn off oven. Turn cookies over to the other cut side and leave in oven for 15 more min. Remove and cool on rack. Drizzle with white chocolate.
