Grandma Flora's
Biscotti
Prep Time: 15 mins Baking Time: ~40 mins
This was a recipe of my Grandma Flora's & she & I would make them all the time together. She would tell me that I was the best at shaping the loaves & it was always so special.
No swaps here, sharing the original recipe. Just a few ingredients but the patience & effort comes in baking the cookies.
Biscotti in Italian means twice cooked so after baking the loaves for 20 minutes, the cookies get sliced & then baked again on each side. Well worth the time because they are truly delicious. My favorite to dunk in my coffee. I've since been adding some chocolate & chopped nuts to give them a little flair, but personally, I like them plain best!
