Recipe - Cantucci (Hazelnut Biscotti)

4 cup Allpurpose flour
2 cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Baking powder
6 lg Eggs; or egg substitute
4 tablespoon Frangelico
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 teaspoon Almond extract
2 cup Hazelnuts; or chopped
almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients (except the nuts) together in a bowl. In a seperate
bowl mix the liquids. Mix the liquids into the dry ingredients until the
dough is stiff. Do not overmix. Stir in the nuts.

Shape the dough into 2 flattish logs 3" wide and approximately 15 " long.
Place the logs on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 20 mins. at 350.

Remove from oven and let cool to the touch. Using a bread knife, slice the
log on diagonal into 3/4" slices. Place the pieces back on the cookie
sheet, side down.

Bake again for 15" until the cookies are golden brown. (Turn slices over
One half way thru second baking.)

NOTES : These are the classic hard biscotti. The best, I think. I vary
these by using anisette and anise extract....or anisette and lemon extract
in place of the Frangelico and almond extract, omitting the nuts.
