Chocolate Chip Biscotti

I sent some of this to Julie, and she wanted me to post the recipe. Note: wasn't sure if she liked cranberries, so I left those out; also couldn't find hazelnuts ANYWHERE, so I substituted slivered almonds, and it was yummy! This ones for you girl:

Chocolate Chip Biscotti

Ingredients:

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
1/3 C butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1/4 C flour
1/2 C toasted chopped hazelnuts (or slivered almonds)
1/2 C cranberries
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Make cookie dough blending cookie mix, butter, egg, flour, hazelnuts, cranberries and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips until stiff dough forms. Roll half of dough at a time into 8 X 2 1/2 inch rectangle. Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Cool 15 minutes.

Cut each rectangle crosswise into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, turning once, until crisp. Cool, place biscotti on cooling racks, cool completely.

Microwave chocolate chips on high for 30 seconds, stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over one side of each biscotti. Let stand until chocolate is set.
