What is Biscotti?
Biscotti is an Italian biscuit cookie. It’s twice baked (meaning you bake it as a loaf, and then sliced in order to crisp up all sides. They are oblong and quite crunchy, making them perfect for dipping into warm beverages, like coffee or hot cocoa. Not overly sweet, they generally contain nuts, and more traditional versions, some almond extract. In our chocolate biscotti version, we add extra dark (actually black) cocoa powder. This recipe would taste great if you added chopped dried cherries!
