Trio of Biscottos

Dear Turkey,

This is a story of three biscottos (just making sure you're awake). Their names were "healthy," "chocolate," and "marzipan." Tofu made them all the same way: throw all ingredients into a big bowl with abandon, mix with hands, pour onto a parchment-ed cookie sheet, smoosh into a log, bake once (un-scotti), slice, bake again.

"Healthy:"

2 c whole wheat flour, 2/3 c sugar, 2 t baking powder, 1/2 t salt, 1 c chocolate chips, 4 eggs, 2 t vanilla.  
1st bake: 350 degrees, 20 minutes
2nd bake: 300 degrees, 10 minutes
"Chocolate:"

2 sticks butter (melted), 4 c whole wheat flour, 1 c cocoa, 2 t baking SODA, 2 T (each) cinnamon, cardamom, orange peel, 1/2 t salt, 2 c sugar, 4 eggs, 1 c chocolate chips.
1st bake: 350 degrees, 25 mins
2nd bake: 300 degrees, 8 mins
"Marzipan:"

1 c canola oil, 6 eggs, 2 c sugar, 2 T almond extract, 6.5 c flour, 2 T baking powder, 1 t salt.
1st bake: 375 degrees, 20 mins
2nd bake: 375 degrees, 15 mins
Thanks, Dad.
And they all lived happily ever after,
Tofu
