100 Calorie Chocolate Biscotti

2/3 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( degrees C). * Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla.
Fold egg mixture into the dry ingredient mixture.
Keep stirring till the dough is stiff.
Split the dough in half.
Shape into two equal size logs - close to 9-12 inches.
Place logs on lightly greased cookie sheet.
If you want to flatten the logs, that's fine - just don't press hard.
Bake for 25 minutes, or till firm.
Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool before cutting.

After the logs have cooled - go on...
Cut each loaf into 1/2 inch wide diagonal slices.
Place slices back on the cookie sheet.
Bake for second time at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 9 minutes.
Turn cookies over, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes.

Note: Depending on the humidity the second baking may take longer. You are looking to get your biscotti dried out and crunchy.

Cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
