Almond Biscotti – A Taste of Nostalgia

What Does Almond Biscotti Taste Like?

Almond biscotti have a nutty flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness. Our Almond Biscotti have a deep almond and amaretto flavor with tones of apricot and are finished with a hint of sea salt. My grandmother would have been very proud of this modern flavor. This biscotti is impressive on its own but dunked in black coffee – well, that takes it to a new level of deliciousness.

What is the Difference Between a Biscotti and Cookies?

When it comes to cookies, the biggest difference between biscotti and regular cookies is the texture. Biscotti are much crispier and crunchier, which makes them so satisfying to bite into. Plus, since they are twice-baked, they have a longer shelf life than most cookies.

Another thing that sets biscotti apart is that they are often made with premium ingredients like almond flour, which gives them a unique and delicious flavor that regular cookies just don’t have. And let’s not forget about the nuts and dried fruits that are often added, giving them an extra crunch and a burst of flavor.

Another thing that I love about biscotti is the way they are consumed, they are often dipped into coffee or tea, as their hard texture makes them perfect for dunking, while regular cookies are generally eaten on their own.

How Are Almond Biscotti Made?

Grandma always told me to keep things simple when baking her special almond biscotti recipe and to use just a few ingredients: Butter, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and toasted almonds. The dough is then formed into a log shape and baked. After it is baked, it is sliced into individual biscotti cookies and then baked again. This double baking gives them their signature crispy, crunchy texture. Here’s my grandmother’s almond biscotti recipe.
