• Remove from the oven and transfer logs to a cutting board.
• Reduce oven to 325°F
• While still warm, Use a long serrated knife to cut each log diagonally into ½-inch slices.
• If logs become cool and begins to crack when cut, rewarm in the oven for about 30 seconds until soft enough to slice easily.
• Arrange the cut strips back on the baking sheet and bake for another 20 minutes, until dry, crisp and lightly colored. Remove from the oven and cool completely on wire racks, then store in an airtight container.
• [Chef�s Note: If you do not have access to orange flower water, feel free to substitute orange extract or use all vanilla extract. Biscotti will continue to crisp as they cool after the second baking, so be careful not to over bake. These cookies will keep for a few weeks stored in an airtight container; they also freeze nicely in an airtight plastic bag for a few months.].
