     Title: Chocolate Biscotti
Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Chocolate, Nuts
     Yield: 40 Biscotti

     3 c  (15 oz/425g) all-purpose
          - flour
   3/4 c  (71g) unsweetened cocoa
 1 3/4 c  (350g) sugar
     4 lg Eggs
     1 lg Egg; separated
     2 ts Almond or hazelnut extract
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 ts Baking soda
     2 c  (300g) mini chocolate chips
     1 c  Slivered almonds or whole
          - hazelnuts, skinned or not
     2 tb Raw sugar; garnish

 Place the flour in a large bowl and sift the cocoa powder
 into it. Mix well with a whisk. Set aside. Meanwhile, heat
 the oven to 350ºF/175ºC.

 In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, the separated
 egg yolk (retain the egg white for an egg wash in a later
 step) and the almond or hazelnut extract. Mix well. Add
 the salt and soda. Mix well.

 Add the sugar/egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine
 until most of the flour is incorporated. Add the chocolate
 chips and the nuts. Press together with your hands (it
 will be sticky) until combined. Transfer to a work surface
 and knead until smooth.

 Shape into two long loaves, just long enough to fit inside
 your baking sheets. Wetting your hands with a little water
 can help when shaping the loaves. Place on a greased or
 lined (with parchment paper) baking sheet.

 Combine the retained egg white with a teaspoon or two of
 water and whisk to mix. Using a pastry brush, garnish the
 top of each loaf with egg wash. Sprinkle each loaf with
 raw sugar. Bake 35 to 40 minutes.

 Remove from the oven and let cool about 10 minutes. Reduce
 the oven temperature to 275ºF/135ºC. Slice each loaf
 diagonally into biscotti about half an inch (13mm) thick.
 Arrange on the baking dish with air space in between.
 Return to the oven and dry thoroughly, 50 to 60 minutes.

 Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store in
 air-tight containers. Serve with coffee or tea.
