I used to think biscotti were hard to make. And then I made some and discovered they are actually quite easy to make. And is there something better than having a delicious biscotti to dip in your morning latte? Answer: no.

Every time I make a baked good, I share it with friends. I decided to make almond biscotti because one of my friends’ favorite flavor. And I love almond too!! 🙂
