      Title: Cheese Biscotti
 Categories: Snacks, Biscotti
      Yield: 20 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Unsalted butter; softened
      1 tb Sugar
      2 lg Eggs
      1 c  Sharp cheddar cheese; shred
  2-1/4 c  All-purpose flour
  1-1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Ground red pepper
 
  Heat oven to 325°. In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat
  butter, sugar and eggs and cheese until well mixed. Reduce mixer speed to
  low. Gradually beat in 1 cup flour, the baking powder, salt and red pepper.
  Beat in enough of the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. With a
  wooden spoon, stir in more flour until a stiff dough forms. Divide dough in
  half and place both halves about 3" apart on a lightly greased baking
  sheet. Shape each into a 9 1/2" log, about 1" high and 2" wide. Bake 30
  minutes or until firm and olden brown. Remove logs from oven and reduce
  temperature to 300°. Transfer logs to a cutting board. While they are still
  warm, using a serrated knife, carefully cut each log diagonally into 1/2"
  thick slices. Arrange slices, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake
  15-20 minutes or until slices are dried but not browned, turning over each
  slice once. Cool and store in airtight container.
