Almond Biscotti is one of my favorite recipes and it took me long to post because I couldn’t click decent pictures. Biscotti reminds me of my brother in law who love these and buys big containers from costco. Once it was empty and I baked and filled it up. When he saw, he was surprised how it got refilled because he couldn’t distinguish between store bought and home made.

What is Biscotti?

Biscottis are Italian version of our desi cake rusk only with less fat/butter. They are perfect to dip in your tea or coffee and won’t betray you by breaking and slipping away in it. 

They are twice baked cookies hence the extra crispness.

Almond Biscotti – Flavors and Variations

The variations also are infinite. You keep the base recipe same and add in anything you fancy like coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, dry fruit etc. I have a separate post for chocolate biscottis also which you can find here. 

This recipe also yields a big batch so you can make on weekend and enjoy them rest of the week, perfect for lunch boxes. The entire recipe has 4 tablespoon of butter and is primarily an egg based recipe. I want to try with whole-wheat also but for now this is my go-to recipe.

How to store almond bisctotti?

They keep extremely well upto a week in an air-tight container. I feel they get only matured in flavor with time. I find them really nice for kids lunch boxes.

 

Now lets make it.
