Biscotti means biscuit or cookie.
I received this recipe from my Italian sister in law last year.
They taste great, were a great hit and are so easy to make, I'm
doing it again this year. So if you have ever wondered how to
make biscotti's, now you will know! I tried two batches, the first
batch with slivered almonds, the second without. The batch with
slivered almonds were much better and I recommend not to skimp
on using slivered almonds. |

Tip#1 :
Cool on cookie racks. |

Tip #2: If
dipping in chocolate, make life simpler by using store bought
chocolate dipping sauce for fruit. Otherwise, melt chocolate
chips over the stove with a little bit of milk. But if you
use too much milk it will make the biscotti soggy. |

as Christmas. |
