Recipe - Dried-Cherry Biscotti

2 One half cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2/3 cup Dried cherries; chopped,
(less than a 3ounce

1 cup Ground almonds

Notes: From Orange County Register

Preliminaries: Lightly grease one cookie sheet (spray oil works well for
this). Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Blend flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add eggs and
vanilla, beating until dough is formed. Stir in cherries and almonds.

2. Turn the dough out on lightly floured surface and knead several times.
Using the greased cookie sheet as a surface, divide the dough in half and
form into two flat logs about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide.

3. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Let cool directly
on the baking sheet resting on a rack for 10 minutes.

4. Lower heat to 325 degrees. On a cutting board, cut the logs on the
diagonal into 1/2inchthick pieces. Put back into oven for 5 minutes. Turn
over and bake 5 more minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on baking
rack.

5. Store in airtight container.
