The authentic recipes usually have no oil or butter.These cookies are very good while travelling because they were baked twice.I got this recipe from a friend.

  2. Oh my lord! These biscotti’s are my favorite. I often buy it from the store and finish up the whole box. The pictures look awesome. Try adding cranberries next time. Trader Joe’s sells a killer holiday biscotti that I really have to stay away from.
