1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup chopped almonds
2 tablespoons orange zest
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a
cookie sheet.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat in the egg and egg
white, then mix in almonds and orange zest. Knead dough by
hand until mixture forms a smooth ball.
Roll the dough into a log about 10 inches long; place on
the prepared cookie sheet. Press down, or roll with a
rolling pin, until log is 6 inches wide.
Bake for 25 minutes in preheated oven. After baking, cool

Place slices, cut side down, back onto the baking sheet.
Return them to the oven for an additional 20 to 25
minutes; turning over half way through the baking. Melt
the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave
oven. Allow chocolate to cool but not harden before
dipping one side of the biscotti into it. Place cookies on
