Yum! Enjoy--You've totally earned 'em )) I just tried the twice-baked

pakora-stuffed potatoes from Veganomicon last night--They're super

tasty! Holler if that sounds like what you're craving and I'll type it

in as fast as I can. Have fun!

>> Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Biscotti

>>

>> 1 cup hazelnuts

>> 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

>> 1 cup unbleached flour

>> 1 tablespoon baking powder

>> 1/2 teaspoon salt

>> 2/3 cup maple syrup

>> 2/3 cup safflower oil, divided

>> 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

>> 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

>> 2 cups vegan chocolate chips

>>

>> Place the hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 15

>> minutes or until fragrant. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and

>> increase the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees.

>>

>> Allow the hazelnuts to cool slightly, then place them on a towel,

>> enclose them with the towel, and rub the hazelnuts with the towel to

>> loosen their skin. Transfer the hazelnuts to a cutting board, roughly

>> chop them, and set aside.

>>

>> In a large bowl, stir together both types of flour, baking powder, and

>> salt. In a small bowl, place the maple syrup, 1/2 cups safflower oil,

>> vanilla, and almond extract, and whisk well to combine. Add the wet

>> ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. Fold the

>> chopped hazelnuts into the dough.

>>

>> Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set one aside for later use.

>>

>> On the remaining cookie sheet, shape the dough into two logs that are 2

>> 1/2 inches wide. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden

>> brown and feel firm and dry. Remove them from the oven and allow them to

>> cool slightly.

>>

>> When cool enough to handle, transfer the logs to a cutting board, and

>> cut diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Divide the slices between the

>> two cookie sheets, standing them upright, and spacing them an inch

>> apart. Bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until dry and crisp. Allow

>> cookies to cool.

>>

>> While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate coating. In the top

>> of a double boiler, place the chocolate chips and remaining 2 tablespoon

>> safflower oil, and cook over low heat until chocolate chips have melted.

>> Stir the melted chocolate chip mixture until smooth.

>>

>> Dip one of the cut sides of each biscotti into the melted chocolate and

>> thenplace them chocolate-side up on a rack. When you have finished

>> coating all of the biscotti, place the rack in the refrigerator to allow

>> the chocolate coating to harden fully. Store the biscotti in an airtight

>> container.

>> Yields 20 to 24 biscotti.
