Remove from oven, and cool slightly.

Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees.

Using a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1/2? thick slices.

Arrange biscotti on their sides on a baking sheet.

Return to oven, and bake until golden, about 30 minutes.

Turn biscotti over, and bake for 30 minutes more.
