Chocolate Chip Biscotti
"Posted in response to a request for an authentic Italian recipe. Received recipe from the wife of a doctoral student while in grad school. The couple was from Italy and had the most adorable little red-haired son! I've had some problem w/ it "melting" during baking and not remaining loaf-like but Gina said it happened occasionally to her too! Either way, this is very tasty! (When it "melted"... I just cut it up like bar cookies! No throwing THIS away!!!)"

Wonderful biscotti! I think it is the addition of the cornstarch that creates a perfect texture! Also just the perfect sweeteness, I used mini chocolate chips and toasted walnuts, thanks for a great biscotti recipe Impera!...Kitten :) -
Well, I took a chance and it melted for me too. It looked like a giant chocolate chip cookie. We will still eat it, but I really wanted a traditional biscotti shape. -
First time I made this, it also melted, and I didn't post a review, since I'm not the greatest baker and I thought it was probably me.....tasted good tho! DD1 made these yesterday.............perfection! She is a much better baker than her mum...... :-)
