Just wanted to let everyone know that I tried this recipe tonight and it is to die for, easy to make and better than any I have purchased at the store or even at a coffee shop. I added a 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to the recipe too. Gooooood stuff.

Hi, my name is Harley and I'm a Chocoholic Alas, I'm going to have to behave though, just went to my brothers house for my nephews birthday and my sis inlaw gave me the South Beach Diet books and talked me into giving it a try, my brother has lost 25 pds. on it. It looks to be a lot easier then some of the others like Atkins, and from what I've read so far a lot of it makes sense.

 
I've been on the chocolate kick lately so this recipe is perfect for me. I've been eating chocolate every day.

Coffeehouses have turned biscotti, the twice-baked Italian cookie, into a household word. If you love pistachios, this is the biscotti for you.

Line an extra-large cookie sheet or 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt; beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
