Biscotti

Hello my fellow bloggers! Or nottt! So yesss, yesterday was my birthday, hello Sweet 16's. (Ew. Getting older by the second! Haha!) So yesterday I made some yummy Biscotti, a recipe I got from eat me, delicious, I'll post the link to her blog and recipe at the bottom as always. This time around, I was so concentrated, I totally forgot to take pictures of the whole process, so sorry about that guys! But I did manage to take some so they'll be posted bellow of course. I'll also include what I used in my biscotti and what I'm actually planning to use them for. ;)
(I had some for breakfast this morning if anyone cares! ;P)
By the way, my baking sheet thing, LOOKS DISGUSTING. It is washed though, it's just stained, just don't misunderstand that! I know, I'm sorry. But since I'm the only one, and maybe my mom and brother, who are eating off this, I can deal. I really hope to by a new and cleaner one soon, sorry for the nasty-ness of it! :(

From rolled log to... squashed log.

After the 30 minutes.

Choppin' them up!

Placing them on the board, and I didn't take a picture of the end result, because it's basically the same thing haha.

Ingredients:


2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powderpinch of salt
1 cup chopped almonds
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
3 tablespoons original Cocoa
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup vegetable oil



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a baking sheet, either cover in parchment paper, or just PAM it like me! Mix together the flour sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa, almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate. Mix together wet ingredients; eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil. I start of mixing with a big wooden spoon, then use my hands to roll the dough into a big chocolaty ball. Roll dough into two logs. spread out about 4 or 5 inches in width, and as for in length as you can. I use a bit of flour so that the dough doesn't stick all over. Bake for 30 minutes at 350F.
Remove biscotti from oven, I cut them in half, move them to a wooden board, and chop them up into about 1 inch strips, placing them back onto the baking sheet on their sides and bake for another 15 minutes. After the're done you can place them on cooling racks, but because I was in such a rush, I just turned off my over and left them there, I like my biscotti extra crunchy, so I wasn't worried about them being too hard for me.

Remember that those were the fillings I chose, but you can use whatever you want!
