Biscotti Cinnamon Chocolate Chip

By saraneddie

Ingredients

• 1 cup canola oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 5 tablespoons sugar combined with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease baking sheets. Beat oil, sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Divide dough into 4 loaves. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes. Cut into 1/3 to ½- inch slices, turn on sides and bake until golden; another 5 minutes.

For younger children who don’t yet like nuts, you can leave them out but it’s definitely better with the pecans.

For the more sophisticated palate and a more colorful look, substitute dried cranberries and white chocolate chips for the pecans and semisweet chocolate chips. Sprinkle top with white sugar only.
