So here's a chocolate version I like very much, and again, the calories are under 120!
Chocolate Almond Biscotti
1/3 cup soft butter (5 1/3 tablespoons)
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup roughly chopped whole almonds
Cream the butter, add the sugar and beat, add the cocoa powder, baker powder and eggs and beat. With the mixer on low add the flour 1/2 cup at a time. Stir in the almonds.
Shape into a 9 or 10 inch log and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 20 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on the sheet for one hour. Cut log into 1/2 inch pieces on the diagonal. Place with a cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 8 minutes. Turn the biscotti over on the baking sheet and bake the biscotti 8 or 9 minutes more. Do not over bake. Cool on wire racks and enjoy.
