Recipe by: SUSAN ARGYELAN This twice-baked cookie almost needs no
introduction. It has become the classic coffee-house treat. You can use
Heath Bar chunks, or try Skor bars, Toblerone - you name it. Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a
mixing bowl, cream the oil, white and brown sugars together until well
blended. Stir in vanilla and butterscotch extracts. Blend in eggs. Mix
flour, baking powder and salt together and then fold into batter. Fold in
candy bar pieces and pecans. Place batter on baking sheet (it will be thick
and a little sticky) and, wetting hands if necessary to ease the shaping,
form batter into two logs, each about 10 to 12 inches long, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2
inches in diameter. Bake in preheated oven until set, about 25 min. Cool
very thoroughly. Baker's Trick: For ultra-thin biscotti that are easily
cut, after the first baking, wrap each log of baked biscotti and freeze
overnight. Next day, slice as thin as you wish and bake the second
requisite time to brown, as follows: Slice in diagonal strips (about 1/2 to
3/4 inch wide) and return to baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350-degree
oven first on one side, about 12 minutes, then turn over and bake other
side about 5 min. Cool well. Any brand of chocolate covered brickle or
toffee bar can be used. Coarse pieces work better than "Heath Bar Chips",
which are too small. (36 to 48 biscotti) Happy biscotti baking! Susan
