Chocolate-Chip Biscotti

1 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips - Mini-morsels
1/3 c Sugar
3/4 ts Baking powder
1 tb Water
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 Egg
1 Egg white

Vegetable cooking spray
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine water and next 3
ingredients; add to flour mixture, stirring until well-blended (dough will
be dry.)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 7
or 8 times. Shape dough into a 16 inch long roll. Place roll on a baking
sheet coated with cooking spray, and flatten roll to 1 inch thickness.
Bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Remove roll from baking sheet to wire
rack, and let cool 10 minutes. Cut roll diagonally into 24 (1/2 inch)
slices, and place, cut sides down, on baking sheet. Reduce oven temp.
to 325F, and bake 10 more minutes. Turn cookies over and bake an
additional 10 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft in center but will
harden as they cool.) Remove from baking sheet; let cool completely
on wire rack.
Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie.)
