3. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie.
4. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
7. When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices.
8. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.
