What’s great about this recipe is that it is so flexible. I used white whole wheat flour and they still were great. For the chocolate ones, I substituted 1/3…

I’ve been baking biscotti every Christmas for at least the last ten years. I started baking this cookie after getting tired of paying an arm and leg for one little slice at the local coffee shop. In 2006, when we toured Italy I couldn’t wait to try real biscotti. I found out quickly that what…
