​Like so many people, I was in complete awe and disbelief as I watched the Boston Marathon disaster unfold.  In the days following the marathon, as the manhunt ensued, I found myself absolutely glued to CNN live coverage of the events.  I couldn't seem to tear myself away from the television while the news streamed live coverage of the locked down city.  Since I couldn't get my mind on much else, I decided to do what always makes me feel better when I get stressed  - I baked!  I had "liked" this recipe on pinterest several months ago and I just hadn't taken the time to make it.

​Chocolate Chip Biscotti

3/4 c chocolate chips

Transfer the biscotti dough onto the floured surface.

Divide into two portions.  Shape each portion into a 8" log. 
Bake for 20 minutes or until cracked on top and just starting to brown. Remove from oven and cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
Picture

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Slice each log diagonally into 3/4" slices (you should get about 12 slices from each log).
Picture

Place the slices onto a baking sheet laying them on their sides.

Picture
​Bake 10 minutes, then flip each piece onto other side. Bake additional 8 to 10 minutes. 
Picture
​Cool completely.

If you haven't yet jumped on the biscotti bandwagon - it's time that you do.   It's delicious with your hot cup of coffee at breakfast.  It's a perfect little afternoon snack with a steaming cup of tea.  It's also a great little late night snack when the chocolate cravings hit.   

Ciao!
