Almond Biscotti

"Almond Biscotti are one of those treats that feel fancy but it turns out they are actually super simple to make. They’re crispy, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet—perfect for dunking in coffee or tea. I found this recipe the other day on KitchenAid’s website, it was so easy to make! They’re easier to make than they seem. Once you get the hang of the whole “twice-baked” thing, you’ll be whipping up batches like a pro. Plus, they’re super forgiving—if your biscotti logs look a little wonky before baking, they’ll still taste amazing once they’re sliced and toasted. This recipe called for whole almonds but I used sliced almonds since I had those on hand. They probably would have been prettier with the whole almonds but they still tasted amazing! Also, I followed the directions of the recipe but when I watched the video they divided the dough into two pieces instead of three. I think next time I’ll try that because the cookies would be bigger. These cookies are a crowd-pleaser, whether you’re serving them with coffee after dinner or packing them up as a homemade gift. And because they’re sturdy and keep well, they’re perfect for mailing to loved ones (hello, holiday care packages!). Almond Biscotti are also great for experimenting. Want to add a drizzle of dark chocolate? Go for it. Feeling a little citrusy? Toss in some orange or lemon zest. There’s no wrong way to enjoy them, which is what makes them such a fun and versatile bake. Give them a try—you’ll feel like a baking rockstar in no time!"
