Mouth watering Wednesday

Chocolate biscotti just came out of my oven......they are delicious and super easy!!

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup cocoa

1 tbsp instant coffee

2 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg white

In a little bowl dissolve the instant coffee in the vanilla. In a larger bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add your two eggs, cocoa, flour and baking powder...mix well, add chocolate chips if using, combine until dough is soft and sticky. Transfer onto a floured surface and divide into two balls. Press each ball into a rectangle (the recipe says 12" but I can never get it that long??). Place on an un-greased cookie sheet and brush the tops with the egg white. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 1o minutes. Cut diagonally into slices, stand them upright on another cookie sheet and bake again for another 20 minutes. Voila!!
