Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the almonds and cherries.Form the dough into a 13 inch log, 3 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.Place the log on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the chocolate melts. Dip half the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set.
