Biscotti are one of my favorite cookies. They're incredibly easy to make and taste so good when homemade with abundant nuts, dried fruit and aromatics.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 300F and line a medium or large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In a second bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, oil and extracts/liquors.
- Using a spatula, mix the dry ingredients into the wet until they are incorporated.
- Add the nuts and dried fruit last.
- Scoop half the batter out of the bowl with your spatula and lay it on your baking sheet, dragging it into a line and smoothing it with wet fingertips. Repeat with the second half of the dough until you have two smooth tubes roughly 2-3 inches wide and 1 inch tall.
- Bake for 35 minutes until the tops are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and gently set the biscotti tubes (still on the parchment) on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temp to 275F while the biscotti cool.
- Transfer the biscotti to a cutting board and cut 1-inch pieces on the diagonal using a sharp knife (I prefer a chef's knife over serrated).
- Lay the cut biscotti on the parchment lined baking sheet, cut side up, and bake at 275F for 10 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven, flip all the biscotti over to their other cut side, and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Let the biscotti cool completely on a rack before dipping them in chocolate. Do not store in plastic or they will soften.
- Optional Chocolate Decoration
- Melt 4 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in mug, using the microwave in 15-30 second increments and stirring in between (1-2 minutes total, depending on your microwave).
- Arrange your cooling rack over the same parchment-lined baking sheet you used to bake the biscotti. (You can also place the biscotti directly on the parchment.)
- Dip the one end of a biscotti in the melted chocolate, and scrape one side gently on the rim of the mug as you pull it out. Place the biscotti scraped-side-down on your cooling rack or parchment for minimal dripping.
- If the chocolate re-hardens as you're dipping the biscotti, pop the mug back in the microwave for 15 seconds and clean up the sides of the mug with a spatula.
- Let the chocolate cool and harden completely before gently popping the biscotti off the rack or parchment.
