This cookie by any other name would still taste as sweet

Biscotti are long and hard cookies that many enjoy by dipping into coffee, hot chocolate, or wine. As fancy coffee shops become more and more popular in the United States, biscotti have also become more fashionable (and expensive). It turns out, biscotti is easy to make, and a whole batch costs the same as a single biscotto (the singular form of 'biscotti') at Starbucks.

Here's a recipe for an Almond and Orange Zest Biscotti that can be enjoyed as is or chocolate dipped. Biscotti can be found in all sorts of flavors, but the most common contain anise, hazelnuts and filberts, and almonds. This recipe calls for almond and orange (and chocolate). Mmmmm.
