Instructions: I cook a lot and I always thought Biscotti would be difficult. They arent. Following are several Biscotti recipes that I have tried except for the anise variation because I dont like anise - they all work well. They make great gifts, particularly if you dip a few in chocolate or white chocolate depending on the flavor. Walnuts, macadamia nuts and pecans can be toasted and used to replace the almonds, then omit the almond extract and add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract. Biscotti directions sound complicated, but they really are easy. Add a little extra liquid, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough is crumbly to the point where you cant make a log of it hold together. I also recommend baking them on an "airbake" or foil lined cookie sheet. If you are interested in more exotic Biscotti recipes there are thousands on the internet.
