Directions
Italian Nut Biscotti,These biscotti’s are the old Italian favorites, My Daughter-in-laws Mother always made these at Christmas for everyone to enjoy. Now this is my Favorite Biscotti recipe. I have been making them at christmas time & other times for years. My family always looks forward to my making them.They are great served with coffee or wine. These rusk-type cookies are studded with nuts and flavored with anise. You Twice bake them to a toasty crunchiness. They do take time,But,are well worth it. Prep time does not include Refrigerate time.,I was thrilled to find this recipe online – finally! I was given the exact same recipe almost 30 years ago, and it’s pretty beat up by now. I omit the nuts, and sometimes add chocolate chips instead, or drizzle the toasted biscotti with chocolate. Time-saving hint: If you bake the loaves the first time, let them cool, and wrap them well and freeze them, you can pull out a loaf anytime and thaw, slice, and twice-bake the slices. I love making up a double batch of these around Christmas so I can stash a few loaves in the freezer, to make in the next month or two.
