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
