BUTTER PECAN BISCOTTI
I love biscotti and this recipe is very easy since it starts with a cake mix and biscotti is always much lower in fat than cookies so it's a win/win for me.

Steps:
- 1. BLEND cake mix, eggs, butter, water and almond extract in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until evenly moistened. Stir in pecans. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
- 2. HEAT oven to 325°F. Coat two baking sheets with no-stick cooking spray. Divide dough in half on lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 14 x 1 1/2-inch loaf. Place on prepared baking sheets.
- 3. BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm. Cool 5 minutes. With sharp serrated knife, cut loaves diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place cut side down on same baking sheets.
- 4. BAKE 15 to 20 minutes longer or until lightly browned, turning halfway through baking time. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks to cool completely.
- 5. PLACE baking chips in 1-quart heavy duty resealable plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH 20 to 30 seconds or until melted and smooth when kneaded. Cut off small bottom corner of bag. Drizzle lightly over biscotti. Let stand 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in airtight container.
Tips:
- To make the perfect biscotti dough, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the biscotti light and crisp.
- Make sure to add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
- When shaping the biscotti, make sure to roll them out evenly. This will help them to bake evenly.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crisp. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
