These additive Italian cookies are meant for dunking, but are good just eaten alone. The word "biscotti" refers to their preparation--they are twice baked. They are just wonderful.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.
