Using your hands, roll each wedge into an 8 inch log. Place the logs 2 inches apart on to the prepared baking sheet and flatten with the heel of your hand to a width of 2 inches; sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Using 2 metal spatulas, carefully transfer the logs to a rack to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Place the logs on a work surface. Using a sharp knife in a quick motion, slice each log on the diagonal 3/4 inch thick. Place the biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, just until they begin to color. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
