      Title: CHOCOLATE-WALNUT BISCOTTI
 Categories: Cookies, Italian
      Yield: 4 Dozen
 
      2 c  Walnut Halves (about 8 oz)
      3 oz Unsweetened chocolate
      5 tb Unsalted butter plus
      1 ts Unsalted butter
      2 c  Flour
      2 ts Baking powder
      3    Eggs
      1 c  Sugar
      1 ts Grated orange zest
 
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place the walnuts on a cookie sheet and
  toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool and then chop
  coarsely. In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate
  and butter together. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Let
  cool for 10 minutes. Sift together the flour and baking powder.  In a
  large bowl, beat the eggs lightly.  Gradually beat in the sugar. Add
  the orange zest. Stir in the cooled chocolate until blended. Stir in
  the flour and baking powder until incorporated.  Fold in the chopped
  walnuts. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and
  refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Butter a large cookie sheet
  and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Shape each half of the dough
  into a 14 x 2-1/2-inch log. Place about 4 inches apart on the
  prepared pan.  Smooth the tops and sides with a rubber spatula. Bake
  for 40-45 minutes, or until the logs are firm when pressed in the
  center. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Do not turn off the
  oven. Slide the logs onto a cutting board.  With a large knife, cut
  each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Stand the slices upright on
  edge on the prepared cookie sheet.  Return to the oven and bake for
  15 minutes longer, or until crisp.  Transfer to wire racks to cool
  completely.
