The smell of these will knock you out.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Grandma Ferrante knew how to bake biscotti. While amazing, the aroma of these biscotti baking is nothing compared to their fantastic taste. They are a crispy cookie flavored with vanilla extract and a hint of anise extract. This recipe is a blank slate where you can get creative with add-ins. Nuts are traditional but mini chocolate chips would be great too. Perfect for dipping into coffee or hot chocolate.
