How come 1183IMO the fat free commercial stuff is sort of a hoax. I don't have the index in front of me but they don't have to list the fat content...

It won't be the same (obviously), but you can try it without the nuts and and see:
Chocolate Biscotti
1 3-4 C Hazelnuts, roasted 5 large eggs 2 2-3 C Flour 2-3 C chocolate chips 2 C Sugar 1 1-2 tsp vanilla 1 C Dutched cocoa 12 oz while chocolate (optional) 1-4 tsp Salt 1 1-2 tsp Baking soda 1 1-2 Tbsp dark roast coffee beans, finely ground (optional)
Peheat oven to 350¡. Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Lightly beat eggs and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients, along with nuts and chocolate chips, and mix well by hand. Do not overbeat; dough will be sticky and lumpy. Shape into 3 ÒlogsÓ, bake on greased cookie sheets at 350¡ for 35 minutes.
Slice into 3-4Ó slices with serrated knife while still warm (but not hot). Bake again at 300¡ for 10 minutes. Frost with melted white chocolate if desired.
Notes: I usually use regular cocoa instead of dutched; if anything, the regular cocoa works better. I also bake biscotti on parchment for the first baking rather than a greased cookie sheet. And I use walnuts in this recipe instead of hazelhuts
