Pizzette Biscotti
- 4 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup roasted almonds cut in half
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground clove
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 Orange
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup warm water orange juice or strong expresso
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 stick butter
- Mix the cocoa powder into the water or juice. Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl including the nuts, add orange zest. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and the water cocoa mixture. Slightly beat the liquid in the center well and begin to bring in the dry ingredients. Gradually add vegetable oil to form the dough. You may need to wet your hands with oil. The dough will be thick and will have an oily glaze. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut small portions and roll out the dough in the form of a cylinder. Pat down the top and cut into 1" slices on a diagonal to form a diamond shape. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
