Chipful biscoti

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg (510 g) Chocolate Chip Cookies
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely grated orange peel
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) large flake oats
• 1 oz (30 g) bittersweet chocolate, melted (optional)

Preparation:

           Heat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Remove the dough from the package and transfer to a clean work surface. Knead in the flour and orange peel until well combined.
Form the dough into two 10 x 1-inch (25 x 2.5 cm) logs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press to flatten dough to 2-inches (5 cm) in width. Brush tops with milk.
         Sprinkle evenly with oats and pat down gently. Bake for 25 minutes or until tops are just turning golden.
Cool on the baking sheet until the logs can be handled; transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices using a serrated knife.
Lay cut-side-down on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.            Return to the oven for 6 minutes. Turn over and bake for 6 minutes more or until lightly browned and crisp.
Cool completely on a rack. Drizzle with melted chocolate (if using).
