2/3 cup chestnut flour1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup packed organic brown sugar
6 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup packed organic brown sugar
6 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2/3 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, and spices; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough. Mix in chocolate pieces and chopped pecans.
Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie sheet. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325.When cool enough to touch, cut into thin diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 10 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.
Serve with a strong cup of Italian caffé.
