Orange, almond and chocolate biscotti

Biscotti are one of my favorite treats!
I love them with a foamy cappuccino in the morning,
a hot green tea in the afternoon or whenever I need
something sweet.
I have tried many different recepes but the following is
the one I prefer the most.

ORANGE, ALMOND AND CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI


Ingredients for about 40 biscotti:

3 cups (375 g) flour
2/3 cup (100 g) sugar
1 stick (110 g) butter
3 beaten eggs
1 TBS orange peel
1 TBS orange juice
1 TBS liquor (Amaretto or Martini)
1 tsp vanilla essence
half tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup almond slivers
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Heat oven at 350 F/ 180 C.

In a bowl combine soft butter with sugar, orange zest, vanilla,
orange juice and liquor; beat until creamy. Add eggs and mix well.
Mix flour with salt and baking powder and add it to the liquid mixture.
Blend ingredients and add toasted almonds and chocolate chips.
Form mixture into two rolls and place them on a baking shit.
Cook for about 25 minutes until lightly golden.
When ready, remove them and put on a rack or a wooden board to cool a little.
When you can handle them, cut them with a serrated knife on the diagonal into
1 cm slices.
Place slices flat on two baking shits and bake again for about 15 minutes.

Cool them and store in an airtight container.

ENJOY IT!
