Directions
Peppermint Biscotti, A peppermint biscotti recipe that is suited to the holidays but is a year round hit! You can make these using green food coloring and green peppermint candies instead of the red! And if peppermint is not your thing, try adding vanilla extract and 1/2 cup white chocolate chipsOR coconut extract and 1/2 cup flaked coconut OR experiment with other flavored extracts/flavor combinations This is a great biscotti recipe that is easily adaptable to suit anyones preferences , Wonderful biscotti I ended up with a slightly different cookie than I set out to make When I went to get my peppermint stash from the pantry there was but an empty container Nobody has a clue as to how this could have happened! I subbed sugar free lemon drops for the peppermint and it turned out to be a wonderful combo with the very mild peppermint extract I had a slight problem with them crumbling a bit at slicing but that wasn’t enough of a problem for me to knock down the marks for this recipe I skipped the glaze as I chose not to use the extra sugar
