Directions
Biscotti All’arancia E Mandorle (Orange and Almond Biscotti),From cookiesfromitaly.com. Can be prepared 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Store in an airtight container. These biscotti have a great and unusual flavor with the orange and almond combination!,Cantucci is the Italian name for this biscuit (biscotti is a general word for biscuits) which has origins in Tuscany, my Italian friend tells me. You dip it in vino santo and eat it. Great idea, Sunshynetoo – re: making a whorl pattern with the cocoa. I had no oranges or orange peel, so used 1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel which makes the biscotti smell wonderful. I’d suggest lessening the sugar to 3/4 or 2/3 cup (one cup is way too sweet!). I also threw away the eggwhite of one egg so the dough would be easier to handle – less soft n sticky.
