Are you the type to bake a lot only during the holidays? Which holiday cookies do you make year after year? I love making these biscotti’s because they are not too sweet and pairs perfectly with a coffee or milk tea. It even makes a lovely gift.
Such an addictive biscotti, you will want to double up this recipe when you make this. I make this every year near the Christmas holidays, because the red and green looks festive and makes a stunning center piece.
