Biscotti - Cokies

Biscotti - Cokies

Ingredients

2+1/2 cups (625 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
2 eggs, or equivalent amount of egg substitute
1/2 cup (125 ml) coarsely chopped almonds,
hazelnuts, walnuts, or pecans
1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. When the dough becomes too stiff to stir, work with your hands until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.  Divide into 4 parts and roll each into a log about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.  Place 2 logs on each of 2 baking sheets which have been covered with parchment or wax paper. Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned.  Remove from the oven and leave the oven turned on. Cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm) slices while still warm and return to the oven.  Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.  Cool completely and store in an airtight container.  Will keep for several weeks.

Makes about 40 cookies.
