Recipe
Yield: About 2 dozen
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (60 g) cocoa powder (Dutch process or regular)
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) baking soda
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
1 ¼ cups (170 g) shelled unsalted pistachios
1 cup (150 g) chopped dark chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. With electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the eggs, yolk, sugar and vanilla on high speed until it holds a ribbon when the beaters are lifted, about 3 minutes.
3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and fold this into the whipped eggs until fully incorporated (the mixture will deflate a little, and seem like a cake batter in consistency). Stir in the pistachios and chocolate chunks (or chips) and spoon this onto the prepared baking tray and spread into the rough shape of a single log – the batter will be soft, so don’t worry if the shape isn’t too precise. Bake this for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the centre of the cantucci log comes out clean – because of the melted chocolate chunks within, you may have to test in a few places. Allow this to cool for about 20 minutes and reduce the oven temperature to 300 F (150 C).
4. Remove the cantucci log to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice across the width into cookies that are ½-inch thick. Arrange these on the lined baking trays (you’ll need 2 trays for this step) and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven and flip the cantucci over, returning to the oven to bake another 12 minutes. Cool the cantucci on the tray. If you find that after cooling, the cantucci aren’t crunchy all the way through, you can return them to the oven to bake a few more minutes.
The cantucci will keep up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

How to make biscotti: Katie's Italian grandma shares recipe
My 90-year-old grandma is an exceptional woman. On top of her overall awesomeness, she makes THE BEST biscotti. She was kind enough to share the recipe for her favorite version: Orange Almond Biscotti.
Grandma Sally is 100% Italian, she's first generation Italian-American. Biscotti are Italian cookies, so I suppose making these so perfectly runs in her blood :)

Here's what you need to make about 3 dozen biscotti:
-2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-1 tsp. baking powder
-1/4 tsp. salt
-4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
-1 cup sugar
-2 eggs
-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
-1/4 tsp. almond extract
-3/4 cups chopped almonds
-2 Tbsp. orange zest
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and smooth, then add in the eggs one at a time. Then add in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Remove bowl from the electric mixer and then with a large wooden spoon, mix in the almond and orange zest. Add in the dry ingredients and fold them in until the dough is just combined.
Take the dough out of the bowl and halve it. Roll each into a log shape (about 13-by-2 inches long) and pat them down to smooth. Put them on a cookie sheet.
Bake (on the middle rack in the oven) for about 35 minutes, until the loaves are golden and just starting to crack on top.
Then remove from oven and let the loaves cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Cut each loaf diagonally into slices with a serrated knife then lay them cut side up back on the cookie sheet. Bake them for 7 minutes, then flip each biscotti slice, and bake for another 7 minutes.
The biscotti should be crispy and golden brown now! Let them cool completely and then ENJOY! :)
Biscotti are exceptionally good when eaten the same day they are baked, although they will keep for at least two weeks when stored in an airtight container. As my grandma says in the video--they're absolutely awesome to eat with you coffee in the morning :)
