Almond and cranberry biscotti
Description
The recipe won't take much time. There's no need to limit yourself to just one type—you can combine several "fillings." Biscotti can be stored for several days. You can use dried or fresh cranberries, or substitute other berries instead. Almonds can also be replaced with other nuts. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
