Soft Almond Biscotti Bars image

These bars are a variation on the fabulous cinnamon almond biscotti that my mom and grandmother always made for the holidays. Instead of crisp, crumbly cookies that are difficult to shape, these bars are chewy and satisfying with cinnamon flavor and toasted almonds inside and out. -Jannine Fisk, Malden, Massachusetts

Not bad, but a bit too dry for my taste.
