Chestnut Biscotti

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons stick margarine, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Dash of salt
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked shelled chestnuts (about 1/2 pound in shells)
• Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Combine sugar and margarine in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture, beating until well-blended. Add chestnuts; beat well.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 times. Shape dough into a 12-inch-long roll. Place roll on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; flatten to a 1-inch thickness.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 30 minutes. Remove roll from baking sheet; let cool 10 minutes on a wire rack.
5. Cut roll diagonally into 16 (1/2-inch) slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350u0b0 for 5 minutes. Turn cookies over; bake an additional 5 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft in center but will harden as they cool). Remove from baking sheet; let cool completely on wire rack.
6. Note: Store the biscotti in an airtight container.
