Biscotti is a hard, crunchy type of cookie that hails from Italy and it gets its signature texture from being baked twice. First the dough is baked as a loaf and then sliced and baked again. Enjoy these cookies alongside either warm coffee, tea, or milk—they’ll soften slightly once dunked. Our version is studded with dried cranberries and slivered almonds, but you could use any combination of dried fruit and nuts. This recipe makes plenty of biscotti to serve a crowd and because they can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks, they’re also perfect for gift giving.
