Although biscotti are traditionally almond flavored you can make them any flavor you like! If you are looking to try making these deliciously different cookies at home, Consider these tips so they come out great every time.
Twice Bake
You need to bake these cookies twice; once to cook them all the way through, and the second time to make them crispy. Don’t skip out in this crucial step!!
First Bake
After the first bake, let the cookies sit for about 10 minutes to cool a bit. After that, spritz the cookie log with some water to make it easier to cut through.

Second Bake
For the second bake, you don’t need the heat to be high at all, and the cookies will become crispy quickly. Still, make sure you let them cool on a cooling rack first to ensure their crispiness.
