Hazelnut and Dried Cherry Biscotti
Biscotti means "twice baked" in Italian, and double baking is the secret to making these popular, crunchy cookies. To make biscotti, the dough is shaped into an oblong loaf and baked. The baked loaf is then cut into slices that are baked again until they become dry and hard. As durable as they are tasty, these cookies keep extremely well and are a good choice to give as a gift. They are delicious served with fresh fruit, and are perfect for dunking in coffee or a sweet dessert wine such as vin santo.

Not intimidating to bake
December 30, 2011
This was my first attempt at baking biscotti. I followed the recipe exactly, except used almonds instead of hazelnuts (we always have almonds on hand).
Wonderful! I will be baking these on a regular basis as we are addicted to making our own coffee, espresso with Italian coffee beans.

great Christmas gift
May 15, 2010
I have been making this recipe for a few years now at Christmas time. I generally have to make about 3 batches to fill the need for Christmas care packages for friends and family. I do substitute dried cranberries for the cherries as they are easier to find in stores here. I bake them on a stone and that makes them nice and crispy. We all really enjoy them.

Best Biscotti recipe
May 14, 2010
I have made various biscotti recipes ranging from the ones with no butter to those that have a lot of butter. This one has the perfect proportions and the combination of hazelnuts with the tart cherries is delicious.
