Hazelnut biscotti is a classic Italian cookie that is perfect for any occasion. It is a twice-baked cookie that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The key to a great biscotti is to use high-quality hazelnuts and to toast them before using them. This brings out their flavor and makes them even more delicious. Biscotti can be enjoyed on its own or dipped in coffee or tea. It is also a great gift idea.

Steps:
- Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Using handheld electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in very large bowl until well blended. Beat in eggs 1 at a time just until blended. Mix in orange peel, baking soda and salt. Add 3 cups flour, hazelnuts and dried cherries; stir until well blended.

Place 2 logs on each of 2 large ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart (logs will spread during baking). Bake until logs are golden and feel firm when tops are gently pressed, switching and rotating baking sheets halfway through baking, about 55 minutes. Cool logs on baking sheets 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.

Gently shake off excess chocolate. Place biscotti, chocolate side up, on baking sheets. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes. Dip pastry brush in cocoa, then lightly brush cocoa over chocolate on each biscotti. (Can be made ahead.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast 10 to 15 minutes, until they give off a nutty aroma and skins begin to blister. Shake pan occasionally. Let cool, then rub nuts vigorously between a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Coarsely chop half of them; set all aside.

Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees.
- Using a serrated knife, slice logs on an angle into bars about 1/2 inch thick. Return to cookie sheet cut side up, and bake until lightly toasted and hard, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely. Biscotti will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.

COFFEE-HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
From "The Best of Cooking Light" ... but I've tweaked it to reflect my personal tastes. (The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of Frangelico; I've used two tablespoons of Kahlua. I've also chosen to use two eggs and one egg white, instead of two egg whites and one egg I like a slightly richer biscotti.)

Tips:
- Use high-quality nuts for the best flavor. Look for nuts that are fresh and plump, and avoid any that are shriveled or discolored.
- Toast the nuts before adding them to the biscotti dough. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscotti to hold their shape.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crisp. Don't underbake them, or they will be soft and chewy.
- 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.
