MAKING HOMEMADE BISCOTTI
Carol and I love to make homemade biscotti. Biscotti is the perfect cookie to serve with a cup of coffee or tea. The batter is simple, usually just eggs, nuts, sugar, flour and flavorings.
We made two flavors–chocolate and almond. Here is the batter for the chocolate….
Almond dough……
The batter is separated into two loaves, and baked.
Chocolate getting ready for the oven..
Finished almond loaves…
After the loaves are baked, they are cut into individual cookies, then baked again…
Cooling after second baking….
Chocolate just out of the oven.
Here are the recipes…

I make homemade biscotti for Christmas gifts for all of my vendors and office peeps…it really is worth it to make it from scratch – makes a world of difference!
They look great!
I am totally into that chocolate one.gee…so yummy
Oh wow! I’m getting hungry already!
In Italy we call these cantuccini, and they come from Prato, where the recipe is slightly different: instead of extra egg whites they use extra egg yolks; no vanilla is used; and to be ultra traditional, no leavening or rising agent is used. They are best with a desert wine called vin santo.I am not a fan of egg yolks, so I think I would prefer your recipe to the traditional one! Thanks for this culinary idea!
I used to make these with my Italian grandmother. Your photos really brought me back. I will have to try out your receipts!
Thankyou for the recipes, I can’t wait to try the chocolate one, looks yummo!
oh wow!!!! it look sooooo good!

Sheila–I prefer the one with more egg whites!

I love Fairway’s almond biscotti, but i bet it is even better handmade!
