My wife made these the other day, to rave reviews.
 Chocolate-dipped Orange Biscotti
 2/3 cup sugar
 1/2 cup vegetable oil
 1 Tbsp grated orange peel
 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
 2 eggs
 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
 1 tsp baking powder
 1/4 tsp baking soda
 1/4 tsp salt
 4 oz semisweet chocolate, melted
 Grated orange peel, if desired
 Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat sugar, oil, 1 T orange peel, vanilla and eggs
 in large bowl.  Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Knead
 dough on lightly floured surface until smooth.
 Shape half of dough at a time into rectangle, 10x3 inches, on ungreased cookie
 sheet.  Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
 clean.  Cool on cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
 Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices.  Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie
 sheet.  Bake about 15 minutes, turning once, until crisp and light brown.
 Immediately remove from cookie sheet.  Cool completely on wire rack.  Dip one
 end of each cookie into melted chocolate; sprinkle with orange peel.  Place
