Peanut Butter Biscotti

2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. water
1 1/4 c. roasted peanuts, unsalted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a lrg. mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, peanut butter and water. Add to flour mixture and mix just until ingredients are incorporated. A little more water, a tsp. at a time, can be added if mixture is too dry to make a smooth dough. Stir in peanuts.

Divide the dough into two portions, and form each into a log approximately 3 in.es in diameter. Place the logs on the baking sheet about 3 to 4 in.es apart and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake in preheated oven until light brown, about 40 mins.. Take out of the oven.

Turn the oven down to 300 degrees F. Let logs cool for 10 mins., then cut into 3/4-in. thick bars. Place bars, cut side down, back on the baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 mins..
