====================
 -=> Quoting Dale Shipp to Dave Sacerdote <=-

 DSac> a trifecta of an apple pie, a cranapple pie, and a pumpkin pie?

 DS> You are right, except that you left out pecan

That's Southern.

 DS> and mince-meat pie.

And that's British.

And I like them both very much. Pumpkin at Thanksgiving makes a lot
sense for the time of year. Mince pies are for later in the winter when
there's no fresh fruit (in the old days).

 DS> Plain, with cheese or with ice cream?

With ice cream at supper, cheese the next morning.

Categories: Italian, Cookies, Chocolate
  Servings: 1 batch

      1 c  + 2 tb unsalted butter at
    room temperature
      1 c  light brown sugar, packed
    1/2 c  + 3 tb sugar
      3 lg eggs
      2 ts vanilla extract
      1 ts almond extract
  2 1/2 c  all purpose flour
    1/2 c  plus 1/3 c regular cocoa
    1/3 c  durum semolina
    1/2 ts fine salt
  1 1/4 c  lightly toasted pine nuts
    3/4 c  large bittersweet chocolate
    chips or chunks
      1    egg whisked with
      2 Tb water for eggwash
    Turbinado sugar for
    sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time,
until fully incorporated. Stir in extracts. In a separate bowl, sift
flour, cocoa powder and semolina and salt and add to butter mixture,
stirring just until blended - dough will be soft. Stir in pine nuts and
chocolate chips or chunks. Spoon mixture into 2 lengths on prepared
baking sheet and with floured hands, shape evenly into 2 logs. Brush
with eggwash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake for 30 minutes,
until lightly browned around the edges. Allow to cool 15 minutes. While
still warm, slice biscotti into 1/2 -inch slices and lay flat on baking
sheet. Place baking sheet in oven and turn oven off. Biscotti will dry
as oven cools, about 30 minutes.
