Cookie Redemption

I've recently been bitching about my inability to make Biscotti.

I've finally worked out my problem: completely ignore what the cookbook says and just improvise. As it was, the previous times I'd failed I'd already replaced the almond meal with ground hazelnuts, the beaten eggs with superstrong coffee and added chocolate.

As it turns out what I was neglecting to do was apportion the batter at about 1/3 of the size I was instructed and double the cooking time.

At last success. The final score: Biscotti 2; Adela 1.

Not ideal, but at least I won the war.
