CHEF JOHN'S ALMOND BISCOTTI
My version is pretty straightforward--a classic Italian dipping cookie. But you can add hazelnuts, pistachios, and any type of dried fruit. Or dip them in dark chocolate.

Tips:

- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the carquinyolis tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the carquinyolis hold their shape in the oven.
- Bake the carquinyolis until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the carquinyolis cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.

Carquinyolis are a delicious and elegant cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect carquinyolis that will impress your friends and family.
