Almond and cranberry biscotti

Biscotti is an Italian double baked cookie. Its oblong, dry and crunchy. Since it has a rusky texture, its ideal to be served with tea or other liquid so that the cookie can be dunked into it before having. This reminds me of the rusk or toast we get in India, only I think this one is a little softer and depending on what we add, say the nuts,  seeds, chocolate, it only gets better. Cranberry and pistachios goes well on this biscotti. It will add beautiful color and texture which will make this biscotti more appetizing.

    This is really good. I never really liked Rusks so this is perfect with my glass of milk or cold coffee. The only thing I would add to this recipe is some fennel 🙂
