      Title: Mexican Chocolate Walnut-Cherry Biscotti
 Categories: Chocolate, Chilies, Nuts, Fruits
      Yield: 30 servings
 
  2 3/4 c  A-P flour
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Dutch-processed cocoa
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda
  1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
      6 lg Eggs; room temp, divided
           - use
      2 ts Vanilla extract
  1 1/2 c  Chopped walnuts; toasted
      1 c  Semisweet chocolate chips
      1 c  Maraschino cherries; drained
           - halved
 
  Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.
  
  Whisk the first 6 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk 5
  eggs and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in
  walnuts, chocolate chips and cherries. Transfer to a
  lightly floured surface; knead gently until dough forms
  (dough will be sticky).
  
  Using floured hands, divide dough into 3 portions. Shape
  each portion into an 8" X 3" rectangle on parchment
  lined baking sheets. Beat remaining egg; brush over
  tops. Bake until firm to the touch, 30-35 minutes. Cool
  on pans on wire racks until firm, 10-15 minutes.
  
  Reduce oven setting to 300ºF/150ºC. Transfer baked
  rectangles to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife,
  cut diagonally into 3/4" slices. Place on baking sheets,
  cut side down. Bake until crisp, 10-12 minutes on each
  side. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  Store in an airtight container.
