Directions:
Heat oven to 350'F. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer
on high speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in almond extract, vanilla
and sugar until mixture is thick and lemon-colored, scraping down sides
of bowl frequently with a rubber spatula. Mix cake flour with
baking powder and salt. With a wire whisk, fold into egg mixture until
just thoroughly combined. Fold in pistachios. Grease a 10x14" strip
down center of two cookie sheets. Spoon half of pistachio mixture down
center of each cookie sheet to make a 3x10" log. Bake 30 minutes. Remove
from oven; leave oven on. Let logs cool on sheets 5 minutes, or until
cool enough to handle. With a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally
into 16 slices. Place slices, flat sides down, on cookie sheet and
return to oven. Bake 5 minutes. Turn slices over and bake 5-7 minutes,
or until golden on both sides. Remove to racks and let stand until cool
enough to handle. Spread melted chocolate over one end of biscotti and
let cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container. Makes 32
cookies.
