COFFEE-HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
From "The Best of Cooking Light" ... but I've tweaked it to reflect my personal tastes. (The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of Frangelico; I've used two tablespoons of Kahlua. I've also chosen to use two eggs and one egg white, instead of two egg whites and one egg I like a slightly richer biscotti.)

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, prepped, and equipment is ready. This will streamline the baking process.
- Properly Measure Flour: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure flour. Scooping flour directly from the bag can lead to variations in measurements, affecting the texture of the biscotti.
- Toast Hazelnuts: Toasting hazelnuts intensifies their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Keep a close eye on them while toasting to prevent burning.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Avoid overmixing the dough, as this can result in tough biscotti. Mix just until the dough comes together.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before shaping and baking helps firm it up and makes it easier to handle, resulting in more even baking.
- Slice Biscotti Evenly: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti evenly. This ensures even baking and a clean presentation.
- Bake Biscotti Until Golden Brown: Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown on the edges and slightly firm to the touch. This ensures a crispy texture.
- Store Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
