Biscotti means "twice baked" in Italian, and double baking is the secret to making these popular, crunchy cookies. To make biscotti, the dough is shaped into an oblong loaf and baked. The baked loaf is then cut into slices that are baked again until they become dry and hard. As durable as they are tasty, these cookies keep extremely well and are a good choice to give as a gift. They are delicious served with fresh fruit, and are perfect for dunking in coffee or a sweet dessert wine such as vin santo.

The best recipe ever!!!! These biscotti have become the most wanted Christmas gifts.....my family and friends love them. I have made some alterations to the basic recipe, by exchanging hazelnuts for pistachios, cardamom for cinnamon, candied orange for cherries and every time they turn out delicious.

This is the best biscotti recipe that Ive found. The flavor is wonderful, the texture is perfect...just a wonderful cookie. These will appear often in our house!

These are delicious - and the tarter the cherries, the better! Theyre easy to make, and the dough is easy to handle. Ive also made them with almonds instead of hazelnuts (both turn out well - the almonds are a little less time-intensive, no skinning required). I love giving these as gifts around the holidays, since they travel well and keep for longer than lots of other baked goods. Theyre also very visually appealing. I always get tons of compliments on these biscotti.

I have made these about 12 times. I also use cranberries but sub hazelnuts for pecans perfect Easy. Looks great. Freezes great. Also sometimes dip in white chocolate.
