Almond biscotti
Description
Biscotti are nothing more than sweet, aromatic biscuits made by twice-baking special loaves of bread enriched with nuts, raisins, and other delicious ingredients. We won't hide the fact that you'll need to bake the treats twice before they're ready, but all the effort is worth it—the resulting biscuits are incredibly tasty. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
