EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Biscotti (pronouned bee-SKAWT-tee) are popular Italian cookies that have been baked twice--first as a loaf, then a second time sliced--until they are crisp. They are perfect for dunking, so dunk them into coffee, hot chocolate, milk--or whatever suits your fancy!

When grating orange peel, be sure to grate only the orange part of the skin. The white part, or pith, is very bitter.

You can toast nuts by baking them uncovered in an ungreased shallow pan at 350°F for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown. Or cook them in an ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until they turn golden brown.

The zest from my oranges was very wet for some reason, so I think my dough might have had a tad too much liquid. When I did the toothpick test it came out clean, but in hindsight I think it could have used a little more time in the oven the first time. Regardless, the flavor is AMAZING. I also leave off the chocolate--they don't need it!

I love these. I have made them for Christmas gifts for the past few years and I will this year too! My favorite, the only thing i do different is leave out the chocolate. Try these, they are easy and sturdy, the wont break or crumble when you put them on a cookie tray. mmm mmm mmmm!!!!!!!!!
