I’m Italian and so I have eaten my fair share of biscotti. In fact, I probably ate more biscotti by the time I was 10 years old than most people eat in their entire lives. My grandma made weekly batches and would keep them in cookie jars and tins around the house. Anytime someone visited, [...]

I came up with these biscotti well over a year ago and have been making them on a fairly regular basis (well, as regular as biscotti baking can be), yet they have never graced the good ol’ site here. I’ll chalk that up to them disappearing so fast when I actually do make them! They [...]

A cousin of mine got married over the weekend and as is customary for most weddings in the Pittsburgh area, they had a large cookie table filled with goodies made by family and friends.

Growing up in an Italian family and spending a lot of time at my grandma’s house, there was never a shortage of biscotti. Cookie jars at her house weren’t full of store-bought cookies or any type of homemade “American” varieties; no [...]

I made these biscotti as part of the package I put together for Operation Baking GALS (sorry it’s taken me a while to get this post up!), which also included plain vanilla biscotti and chocolate chip biscotti. These biscotti come courtesy of Dorie Greenspan and were actually the second-ever Daring Baker challenge, back in December [...]

Behold the beautiful biscotti that will be gracing my gift tins to family and friends. Now I know that I just posted a biscotti recipe not too long ago, but I wanted to share this one as well because they have somewhat different properties. The previous biscotti recipe produced a soft and tender cookie, which [...]
