Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Italian for “twice baked,” biscotti are Italian biscuits—or cookies—that are ideal for dipping into coffee or dessert wine. This minty version would go especially well dipped in hot chocolate!
  • tip 2
    A drop of red food color will turn these peppermint cookies a sweet shade of blushing pink.
