TERRY'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA BISCOTTI, (TENDER BISCOTTI)
I don't like biscotti in general, they are too hard and I don't dunk anything in milk or coffee, just not my thing...my good friend and past landlady Terry made these biscotti and I only tried them to make her happy. Oh my god! They were so good and NOT hard, crisp but tender! If biscotti is not your thing, give these a try, you might change your mind!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscotti will be. Look for fresh, roasted coffee beans, finely chopped macadamia nuts, and high-quality butter and sugar.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for biscotti, which rely on precise measurements to achieve the right texture.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before slicing and baking: This will help the biscotti hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the biscotti twice: The first bake will dry out the biscotti and give them a firm texture. The second bake will toast them and give them a golden brown color.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Coffee macadamia nut biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea, or for giving as gifts. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect biscotti every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
