Anna's Twice Baked Almond Biscotti image

Anna migrated to Queens NY from Italy with her husband and lived in my Granny's house in the upstairs apartment. She had no children of her own so it gave her great pleasure to spoil us often with these baked goodies called "biscotti". Who knew these very traditional breakfast treats would turn into the very stylish biscotti found in the best coffee bars today! Thanks Anna for the memories :)

I'm not a big fan of biscotti, but I really enjoyed these. They're not too sweet and they have a great almond flavor.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour with oat flour. They turned out great!

These biscotti are a bit too hard for my taste. I think I might bake them for a little less time next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in the fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti to slice evenly. I think I might have rolled them out too thick.

These biscotti are delicious, but they're a bit too sweet for me. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I found that the biscotti were a little too dry for my taste. I might try adding a little bit of butter or oil to the batter next time.

I added some dried cranberries to the batter and they turned out great! They add a little bit of tartness and sweetness.
