Notes
Biscotti Baking Tips:
- Shaping: If the dough is a little sticky, just lightly sprinkle flour over the dough and your hands and it will make it easy to shape into logs.
- Do You Have to Bake it Twice? You do not have to bake it twice. It is technically done after the first bake, but to get that classic crunchy texture of biscotti, it needs the second baking time.
- Slicing: A serrated knife works best for slicing the logs into cookies. Don't worry if they crumble a bit around the edges. If the cookie breaks in half when transferring from the cutting board to the cookie sheet, just gently press it back together and it will stay together after baking.
- Chocolate Dip or Drizzle: After cooling biscotti you can drizzle with melted chocolate or dip into melted chocolate if desired.
Storage and Freezing
- Biscotti will stay fresh in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze baked biscotti in a freezer bag up to 3 months.
