Chocolate Chip-Almond Biscotti

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet with the canola oil or line with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate pieces and almonds. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together egg, butter and almond extract. Pour egg mixture into the well in flour mixture; stir to combine. Using your hands, gently knead dough until it comes together. Divide in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough half into a 10-inch-long log. Place logs on prepared cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Flatten each log so it is about 2 inches wide; press in short ends to make even. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.

Cool completely on the baking sheet. Transfer to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 15 slices, each about 1/2-inch thick. Place slices, cut sides down, on the same cookie sheet. Bake in the 325 degrees F oven 10 minutes. Turn slices over. Bake 10 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely.
