1 pkg. plain devil’s food cake mix
8 Tbsp. (1 stick) butter, melted
2 lrg. eggs
1 C. flour
1/2 C. chopped macadamia nuts

Place a rack in center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, flour, and macadamia nuts in a lrg. mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended, 3 to 4 min. Stop machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. The dough should come together into a ball. Transfer it to the prepared cookie sheet. With floured hands, shape the dough into a rectangle about 14 in. long by 4 in. wide by 1/2 in. thick. Mound the dough so it is slightly higher in the center. Place the cookie sheet in the oven.

Bake the biscotti rectangle until it feels firm when lightly pressed with your finger and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 min. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the biscotti cool 10 min. Leave the oven on.

Cutting on the cookie sheet, use a sharp serrated bread knife to slice the rectangle on the diagonal into 1 in. thick slices. You should get 14 slices. Carefully turn these slices onto their sides, using the slicing knife to arrange them on the same cookie sheet. Return the cookie sheet to the oven. Bake the biscotti 10 min. Turn the oven off and let the biscotti remain in the oven until they are crisp, for 30 to 40 min. more. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, transfer the biscotti to a rack and allow them to cool completely, 2 hr..
