Biscott-ish

I stumbled upon this recipe in the brilliant Soup Tuesday blog during the week and had to make these.  I love biscotti but the husband doesn't like ginger so it was going to be more baked goodies for people I work with. This works out will for me too as I eat less of them and can still get into my jeans!  I'm very organised in my life but for some reason not in my baking and true to form I started to mix all of the ingredients together before I realised I had several key things missing and would have to improvise again.  I only had about 35g of cocoa so topped it up to 75g with some hot chocolate which I also ran out of and had to add about 25g of flour to get the full 75.  They're still quite chocolatey so don't seem to suffer too badly thankfully.  More seriously I only had two eggs so I scouted around for whatever I had and in the end used some milk to bind it.  I have no idea how much I added but I kept going until it came together in a sticky but cohesive dough.   The result is a slightly more cakey biscotti but actually they're still pretty good and they're going down a treat in the office even with the slightly singed edges.  I'll probably make these again in the future but do a full baking drawer inventory before I start!
