What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

Triple Chocolate Chunk and Dunk Biscotti


1/3 c. butter
2/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 t. baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
4 ounces white chocolate baking bar, coarsely chooped -or white choc. chips
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Lightly grease a cookie sheet:set aside.

Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Add sugar, cocoa and baking powder; beat until combined. Beat in eggs. Beat in as much flour as you can-stir in the rest. Stir in chopped chocolate.

Shape dough into two 9 inch long rolls. Place rolls on prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake in a 375 oven 20-25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on sheet for one hour.

Cut each roll diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 8 minutes, flip and bake other side 7-9 minutes until cookies are dry and crisp. Do not overbake.

Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.

If desired, melt chocolate with a smidge of shortening and then drizzle.

OR-for Chocolate overdose...

Dip in chocolate and decorate.

*Note* I have never had Biscotti before, nor have I made it before this weekend. And I don't drink coffee so I haven't even tried THESE! But-everyone else who HAS had them has said they were yummy.
