DOUBLE CHOCOLATE, ORANGE AND HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
Biscotti are easier to make than you might think, and they're delicious with breakfast or as a snack. They store well for over a week in a sealed jar or bag. I came up with this recipe when trying to use odds and ends I had in the house. Although we love to munch on all kinds of biscotti, this variety is especially amazing-just try one with coffee or espresso! -Sarah Knoblock, Hyde Park, Indiana

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on baking sheet and toast about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. If hazelnuts are not blanched, toast them until the skins begin to crack, then remove them from oven and wrap them in clean linen or cotton towel (not terrycloth). Rub hot nuts to remove most of the skin. Set toasted nuts aside.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, espresso powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder together and set aside.
- Beat eggs lightly, just until blended, in mixing bowl with whisk or in electric mixer. Remove two tablespoons of egg mixture to small dish and set aside. Beat sugar into remaining eggs until blended. Stir in flour mixture to form soft dough.
- Divide the dough in half and place one portion on a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, pat it into a six-inch square. Scatter half the hazelnuts on the dough and press them into the surface. Roll the dough into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter and 12 to 15 inches long. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and place the roll of dough on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Brush the tops of both rolls with the reserved egg.
- Place in the oven and bake about 15 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Transfer to a cutting board and cut on an angle into slices one-half-inch thick. Return the slices to the baking sheet, standing them up, and return them to the oven. Bake another 20 minutes, until they are crisp and dry. Allow to cool completely before storing or serving.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
Anytime I can find a way to incorporate Nutella into a recipe, I will. These treats are what my grandmother used to make and referred to as "biscotti." So in keeping with her tradition, I'll do the same, even though these are more like a drop cookie, more buttery and moist than the usual biscotti, which are generally quite hard and dry.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, and both sugars 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, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet, spacing the mounds about 4 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork to flatten each mound. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
Biscotti is used to describe a long, dry, hard twice baked cookie with a curved top and a flat bottom designed for dunking into wine or coffee. The name biscotti is derived from 'bis' meaning twice in Italian and 'cotto' meaning baked or cooked. These are very nice glazed or dipped in white chocolate. Enjoy. Don't let all the steps bother you.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. Freshly ground coffee and spices will also make a big difference.
- Be precise with your measurements. Baking is a science, and if you don't measure your ingredients correctly, your recipes won't turn out right.
- Follow the recipe instructions carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
- Preheat your oven before you start baking. This will help ensure that your recipes cook evenly.
- Don't overmix your dough or batter. Overmixing can make your baked goods tough.
- Let your baked goods cool completely before you eat them. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
