My Italian family always made biscotti around Christmas. Especially my aunt Angela, who has since passed but every Christmas my mother and I make them in honor of her. Another great substitute is dried cherries and sliced almonds.
Thank you for this recipe. I’ve never used the orange zest but will try it this year.
Years ago I attempted to make biscotti. And they absolutely sucked. I don’t know how one manages to mess up a cookie that’s *supposed* to be hard, but, by Jove, I did it. Perhaps I’ll endeavour once more with Domenica’s enticing recipe.
Erin ~ biscotti dough can be quite sticky and a bit challenging to shape. Maybe that was the issue? In any case, I'm happy to help if you have any questions!
These cookies seem like a perfect addition to any holiday cookie plate and are definitely in contention for mine. Thanks, Jolene and Domenica!
Perfect addition, Ruth! ❤️
Exactly what I was thinking!
😋
Thanks, Ruth!
That biscotti looks divine.
Thank you, Mary :-)
Don’t they? 😄
Mmmmm! I want to make these!
Perfect!
I hope you do make them, Jillian!
Glorious Jolene and Domenica!
Thank you, Christene!

Beautiful, Alison, what a lovely tradition. (I love dried cherries 🍒!!)
Dried cherries and sliced almonds ~ a wonderful, classic combination. Thanks, Alison.

I’m laughing at the “by Jove” 😂 Erin . Domenica’s recipes work so well, hope you’ll try again! ✨
I’m in my “bring back the old timey phrases” era 😂
😂👍

Thank you, Domenica! That’s very generous. It truly was years ago, so I no longer remember where I went wrong - only that I did! 😆
But I will certainly take you up your offer of biscotti tutelage, should I get off track again. 😊
These look amazing! Weekend recipe sorted.
Excellent, Wendy!
I’m so intrigued by this tiny town advent calendar!
It’s so sweet, Sabrina!
Well, I share Ruth's sentiment, too! Also, I have to mention that I make Domenica's Pork Ragu once a year. (at least!). It is AMAZING!!! 🎄
Yum! ❤️
Biscotti, always delicious with a cup of afternoon tea!!!
The best, Vicki! 🫖
Jolene ~ I'm thrilled to be a part of your TTK Advent Calendar. Thank you! I love opening these daily posts xx
Thrilled you are here, Domenica! (I’m getting emails from friends saying:”These biscotti look incredible!” ) Thanks again for sharing it ! ❤️
You make life so much sweeter, Jolene! ♥️
