Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add vanilla, eggs, and coconut. In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder and stir into coconut mixture. Divide dough in halves or thirds. On a well floured surface, shape into logs. Transfer logs to a parchment paper lined or lightly sprayed baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until firm and lightly browned. Cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes. Cut logs on the diagonal into 3/4" slices. Return slices to baking sheet, leaving space around each slice, and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until desired crispness. Place on rack and, when completely cooled, dip about 1/3 of each biscotti into melted chocolate. Dry on rack.
