Biscotti are a traditional Italian treat often served with strong, hot coffee. The small, crisp slices are made for dunking. For a spiced version, omit the almond extract and stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup finely chopped slivered almonds, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts,macadamia nuts, or hazelnuts

1 beaten egg

1 teaspoon water

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl stir together the sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 3 eggs, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir in the flour and chopped nuts.

On a well-floured surface, knead dough 8 to 10 times. Divide in half. On a lightly floured surface shape each half into a log about 9 inches long. Place logs about 4 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Pat each log into a flattened loaf about 10 inches long and 2 to 4 inches wide. Stir together the egg and water; brush over loaves.

Bake in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for 30 minutes. Cool on a rack. Cut each loaf diagonally into 2-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut-sides down, on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in the 325 degrees F oven for 5 minutes. Turn slices over and bake for 5 to 8 minutes more, or till dry and crisp. Remove cookies from pan and cool on a rack.
