Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, almonds, and pistachios. I used the bowl of my stand mixer. Whisk to mix well. Beat the 2 whole eggs and one egg yolk lightly in a small bowl.
- Add the vanilla and orange zest. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
- Using the dough hook on your stand mixer, mix the batter on low setting for a minute then increase to medium and continue to knead the dough for an additional three minutes.
- You can also do this by hand but the dough is sticky and very stiff so the mixer is an easier alternative. If the batter is too dry add the extra egg white, a little at a time until a stiff but still sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into half and spread each half out into a log shape about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. Leave adequate space between the logs for them to expand when baking.
- The dough is easier to handle if your hands are wet otherwise it will just stick to your hands. Gently flatten each log to about an inch thick because it will rise during baking.
- If you have any of the egg white left you can brush the tops of the logs with it to aid browning. If you used it, no need to crack another egg, just leave it off.
- Bake the biscotti for 17 to 20 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown and the top center feels firm to the touch. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Allow the logs to cool slightly then cut into 3/4 inch slices. Place the slices with the cut side down back on the parchment paper. Return the biscotti to the oven and bake an addition 8-10 minutes until they are crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe sallow dish and heat for one minute. Remove from the microwave and stir.
- Continue melting the chocolate at 15 second intervals, stirring in between. When the chocolate is completely melted and smooth dip the bottoms of the biscotti in the chocolate and place on a cooling rack, chocolate side facing up.
- Sprinkle the cookies with the chopped pistachios and allow the chocolate to harden before eating.

PISTACHIO BISCOTTI
Biscotti are easy to make and keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight tin. They taste even better a day or two after baking. They are perfect for dunking, in red wine, sweet wine, coffee or tea. Almonds or walnuts can replace the pistachios if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter and sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer (or use a large bowl and hand-held electric beaters). Cream butter and sugar at high speed until pale, light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Beat in lemon zest and almond and vanilla extracts.
- In a separate medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. At low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture. As dough is coming together, add the pistachios and mix until incorporated. You will have a soft, sticky dough.
- Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. With floured hands, shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long. Place logs well apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Logs will spread as they bake.)
- Bake logs for 25 to 30 minutes, until firm and lightly browned all over. Remove and cool logs on a rack until cool enough to handle. (Don't rush this step or you risk crumbling when slicing.) Using a serrated knife, carefully cut into slices, crosswise or at a diagonal. Thicker 1/2-inch slices are easier to cut; thinner slices are a bit more elegant.
- Place slices in one layer on baking sheet and return to the oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes (less for thinner slices). Flip each slice and bake again for another 5 minutes. Let cool completely, until biscotti are crisp and dry, before transferring to a tin.
PISTACHIO-ALMOND BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest and beat just until combined. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary. Add the nuts and anise seeds and mix until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a 12-inch-long log. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Leave the oven on. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on the diagonal into 1/2 -inch-thick slices. Place the biscotti cut side up on the lined baking sheet and bake for an additional 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store the biscotti in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the pistachios on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes or until the nuts are lightly toasted. Remove from the oven.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, gradually add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla; mix until creamed. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dough until smooth. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut in half. Roll each half into a log, each 12 inches long by 1-inch high. Place the logs on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly brown. Let the logs cool for 5 minutes and then place on a cutting board. Slice each log on a diagonal into 12 1-inch thick pieces. Put the cookies back on the cookie sheet and bake 5 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake the other side for another 5 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container.
CRANBERRY PISTACHIO BISCOTTI
The red and green make a great Christmas cookie. Have used other nuts instead of pistachios with success. If your pistachios are salted, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt from the recipe.
