Chocolate Chip Biscotti

I usually make my cookie dough from scratch. However, I found this recipe out of a magazine and it specifically called for a certain cookie mix, so I went ahead and got a couple packages while grocery shopping.

1pkg Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/3c butter, softened
1 egg
2c semisweet chocolate chips
1/4c flour
1/2c toasted chopped hazelnuts
1/2c cherry-flavored dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

Make cookie dough blending cookie mix, butter, egg, flour, hazelnuts, cranberries and 1 1/2c chocolate chips until stiff dough forms. Roll half of dough at a time into 3 x 2 1/2in rectangles.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Cool 15 minutes.
Cut each rectangle crosswise into 3/4in slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, turning once, until crisp.

Cool; place biscotti on cooling racks. Cool completely.

Microwave chocolate chips on High 30-60 seconds; stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over one side of each biscotti.

 Let stand until chocolate is set. Serve with milk! :)

I loved this recipe. The only suggestion I have is to use less cranberries and more nuts!
