I come from a long line of biscotti dunkers -- and bakers. This recipe is my great-aunt Mary's, and it's legendary in our family. The cookie is chocolatey and chewy. It's baked only once, not twice, so it's not hard like most biscotti. At least one of my aunts or cousins bakes some every year. It's such a given that now we just refer to the cookies in shorthand: Did you make Auntie Mary's yet? - Susan Westmoreland, food director
