1/4 cup cocoa powder (with over 70% cocoa if you can find it)
3 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil for a healthier alternative)
3/4 cup agave nectar (or sugar if you don’t have agave)
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine beans, cocoa, eggs, oil, agave (or sugar), salt, vanilla and coffee in a food processor and process until smooth.
Pour mixture into a greased 8 x 8 pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top (if desired).
Bake for 30 minutes until the edges start to pull away from the pan.
Lemon Biscotti
I love the hard crunchy texture of biscotti. This recipe could be adapted for a variety of flavors - you can use orange zest instead of lemon zest, or leave the zest out all together and use different flavored extract like almond or anise.
Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
3 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
Add the lemon zest to the egg mixture and mix well.
In a smaller bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into two balls. Roll the balls to be the length of a cookie sheet.
Put the rolls on the cookie sheet and press down to about 1/2” thick.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then slice them into 1” slices. Put the slices cut side up on the cookie sheet and cook for another 10 − 15 minutes until golden brown.
For added pizzaz, you can melt chocolate and dip one end of each cookie in the chocolate after they have cooled completely.
This is a work of fiction.
None of it is real. All names, places, and events are products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events are purely coincidental, and should not be construed as being real.

About The Author
USA Today Bestselling author Leighann Dobbs has had a passion for reading since she was old enough to hold a book, but she didn’t put pen to paper until much later in life. After a twenty-year career as a software engineer with a few side trips into selling antiques and making jewelry, she realized you can’t make a living reading books, so she tried her hand at writing them and discovered she had a passion for that, too! She lives in New Hampshire with her husband, Bruce, their trusty Chihuahua mix, Mojo, and beautiful rescue cat, Kitty.
