Chocolate and Vanilla Chip Biscotti

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray two cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder and mix well. In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and margarine until blended, then add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.

3. 3

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the vanilla baking chips.

4. 4

   With sprayed hands, divide the dough into three portions and shape each into a 7-inch log on the cookie sheets, spacing them well apart. Flatten each log to about a 7 x 3-inch rectangle.

5. 5

   Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until set and lightly browned. Remove from the cookie sheets and cool on wire racks for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Using a serrated knife, cut each rectangle crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Stand the slices upright on the cookie sheets and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until crisp and dry. Cool completely on wire racks.
