Nutty Mocha Biscotti


I tried something new and sent a recipe card along with my Christmas cards to close family & friends. I had a really cute picture of my daughter from one of her photo shoots, and had just made these...so I decided to put the two together. And everyone really enjoyed them. So here is the recipe for all to see :)

Ingredients: 
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. instant coffee
1 cup chopped pecans
heaping handfuls both chocolate chips & chopped pistachios

Directions
 HEAT oven to 325°F.
 MIX flour and baking powder in small bowl. Beat next 4 ingredients in large bowl with mixer 2 min.    or until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until well blended after each addition. Stir in nuts.
 DIVIDE dough in half. With lightly floured hands, shape each half into 14x2-inch log on greased baking sheet. (Dough will be sticky.)
BAKE 25 min. Remove from oven. Cut each log diagonally into 16 (1-inch-thick) slices. Place, cut sides up, on baking sheet. Return to oven. Bake an additional 10 to 15 min. on each side or until lightly toasted on both sides. Cool completely.
MELT chocolate chips in microwave for about 1 minute, dip biscotti end in chocolate then pistachios……ENJOY!
