Almond biscotti
Almond Biscotti recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the 13th century. The cookies were originally made in Italy, and were known as "biscotti di mandorle." The recipes for almond biscotti varied depending on the region in which they were made, but typically included almonds, flour, sugar, eggs, and aniseed.
In the United States, almond biscotti recipes began appearing in the early 1900s. The cookies became popular in Italian-American communities, and were often served with coffee or wine. Today, almond biscotti are enjoyed by people of all backgrounds, and can be found in many different flavors, including chocolate, lemon, and raspberry.
Advice
When making almond biscotti, one of the most important things to remember is to not over mix the dough. Too much mixing can make the biscotti tough and dry. Instead, mix the ingredients just until they are combined. It's also important to be careful not to over bake the biscotti. The edges should be golden but the center should still be slightly soft. Finally, for an extra crunch, add some sliced almonds to the top of each biscotti before baking. Enjoy your almond biscotti!
