Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 3/4 c All-purpose flour
2/3 c Alkalized cocoa powder
2 ts Baking powder
1 pn Salt
1 1/4 c Sugar
1 1/3 c Hazelnuts or walnuts -- skinned,
- chopped
4 lg Eggs
1 ts Vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325°F and set rack in the middle level of the oven.
Cover 2 large cookie sheets or jelly roll pans with parchment or
foil.
Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt and sift into a mixing
bowl. Stir in the sugar and nuts.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla and stir into the flour mixture to form a
dough.
On a lightly floured surface, press dough together. Divide dough in
half and roll into a log the length of the pan (14 to 18"). Place
each log on the pan and flatten slightly. Bake for about 30 minutes,
until well risen and firm. Cool the logs on the pans.
After the logs have cooled, detach from paper and slice them about
1/2" thick with a sharp serrated knife. Place back on paper lined
pans, cut side down, and bake again for about 20 minutes, or until
dry and crisp. Cool on pans and store in a tin or plastic container
with a tight fitting lid.
