At Christmas time I made these Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti again, and it reminded me that I need to make biscotti a lot more often. It is SO SO good!!! I am usually soft and chewy cookie type of person, but there is something about crisp, crunchy biscotti that I cannot resist! If you haven’t made biscotti before, or you think you don’t like it – I encourage you to give it another try! Dip them is coffee, milk (or chocolate milk) and enjoy!!
Biscotti is actually super easy to make. You don’t have to scoop a million balls of dough like with regular cookies. Just bake it in one big log, slice and bake gain, flip and bake again. Done! I like to add drizzled of chocolate and other toppings just to make them pretty, but it’s totally not necessary. They taste awesome either way!
In the afternoons, when I lay the baby down, I make a cup of coffee to enjoy while I work. And let’s face it, usually a cookie is involved as well 🙂 I think it’s so cute when I sit with my coffee, dipping biscotti, my 4 older kids ask for a cup of milk and their own biscotti too. It’s like our own little Italian cafe here at home!
I love the flavor the almond extract gives these cookies. It pairs so wonderfully with the chocolate chips and almonds. My daughter said these are the best biscotti we’ve made yet!
