Title: Mexican Chocolate Walnut-Cherry Biscotti
Categories: Chocolate, Chilies, Nuts, Fruits
Yield: 30 servings

2 3/4 c A-P flour
2 c Sugar
1 c Dutch-processed cocoa
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
6 lg Eggs; room temp, divided
- use
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Chopped walnuts; toasted
1 c Semisweet chocolate chips
1 c Maraschino cherries; drained
- halved

Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

Whisk the first 6 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk 5
eggs and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in
walnuts, chocolate chips and cherries. Transfer to a
lightly floured surface; knead gently until dough forms
(dough will be sticky).

Using floured hands, divide dough into 3 portions. Shape
each portion into an 8" X 3" rectangle on parchment
lined baking sheets. Beat remaining egg; brush over
tops. Bake until firm to the touch, 30-35 minutes. Cool
on pans on wire racks until firm, 10-15 minutes.

Reduce oven setting to 300ºF/150ºC. Transfer baked
rectangles to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife,
cut diagonally into 3/4" slices. Place on baking sheets,
cut side down. Bake until crisp, 10-12 minutes on each
side. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
