I will admit that I thought this sounded like the strangest recipe when I
first read it, but after I made them I found out just how GREAT they were!!
I've made them for work and got so many compliments and requests for the
recipe that I thought I would pass them along. I made just a couple
adjustments to the original recipe that I received from the 1st Travel's
Choice Cookbook. But full credit goes to the "Agate Cove Inn" in Mendocino,
California, it is their Specialty Recipe served at their Bed & Breakfast.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (first 7 ingreds) and
blend well.

In a small bowl, whisk together all liquids, add to dry ingredients with
mixer. You may want to add a few drops of coffee to get mixture gooey.

Add chocolate chips, walnuts and Craisins. Turn dough out onto a
wellfloured board and form into 1/2" thick by 31/2"wide, flat logs

cook on greased & floured cookie sheet at 350 for 2025 minutes. Cook until
cakelike. Cool. **see NOTE #1**

Cut logs into 1/2" pieces, lay (cutside down) flat on cookie sheet and
bake another 68 minutes at 300 degrees one side only. Then flip over and
bake on other side 68 minutes. Cool and serve. **see NOTE #2**

**NOTE #1** I first covered sheet with foil, then greased / floured that.
It was much easier to remove the logs since they tend to stick because of
very low fat content.

**NOTE #2**after I cut into slices, I place them upright on a cooling rack
placed ON the cookie sheet and I bake them ONLY 1 more time...as this bakes
BOTH sides at once.

Makes approx. 32 Biscotti...recipe can be doubled easily
