Step #6 Chill for 10 mins.
Step #7 Divide the chilled dough in half & shape into a 1 inch-thick rectangular slabs on an lined, oiled baking sheet.
Step #8 Flatten the slabs slightly by evenly patting them down.
Step #9 Bake until they are golden brown & a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 mins.

Step #11 Let slabs cool for 10 mins, then cut each slab into 1/2 inch-wide slices.
Step #12 Place sliced biscottis on their sides on an ungreased baking sheet (just simply remove the lining from the one you just used) & bake for another 8-10 mins until they are crisp & dry.
Step #13 Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container, where they will keep for a few days.
