CRANBERRY AND ALMOND BISCOTTI WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE
A perfect holiday cookie! You can substitute dried cherries for the cranberries, use a good quality white chocolate for this, I use Lindt or Baker's. These can be made up to 1 week ahead, or freeze in an air tight container. I highly suggest to double this recipe, these are wonderful biscotti!
