The Process of Making Biscotti
What gives biscotti that amazing crunch and texture is the double bake. That’s one thing all these recipes have in common. After the first bake of baking the whole log of biscotti dough on a cookie sheet, the cookies are cut into thick slices on a slight angle and baked again.
After cooling on a wire rack, the cookies can be dipped or drizzled with chocolate, or left plain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does biscotti keep?
Typically, biscotti will keep for about 2 weeks in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months, again, in an airtight container. Let them come to room temperature before eating.
What’s the difference between biscotti and a biscuit?
Biscotti are baked twice, so they are harder than a biscuit. They are perfect for dunking in coffee or tea, and have a longer shelf life as they contain less moisture.
My biscotti didn’t get crunchy.
More than likely, if your biscotti is too soft, you didn’t give it enough time in the oven during the second baking. You can stick them back in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes or so to see if you can harden them just a bit.
