This picture pretty much sums up my loves in life: red + white, hearts, valentines, polka dots, cherries, almonds and chocolate.


{Raise your hand if you'd like to see heart-shaped everything year-round.}

I love biscotti. If you've never made them before, they bake twice. For the first bake, the dough is shaped into a log. Then, the baked dough is cooled a bit, sliced, and baked again. This ensures cookies with a great crunch.

{Anyone else see that heart-shaped almond? While we're on the subject...has anybody seen Drew Barrymore's new book, Find It In Everything? I think I must buy it.}

The cookies are crunchy and chocolatey. Chock-full of chopped almonds and sweet dried cherries, they're dipped in melted semisweet chocolate to make them extra special.
Perfect for dessert, perfect with a cappuccino, perfect for breakfast, perfect for packaging and giving this Valentine's Day.

Chocolate Almond Cherry Biscotti...you'll love them.

ReplyDeleteI think these would be amazing with my morning coffee, Bridget! I always thought you needed a special pan to make biscotti. You were able to shape these by hand?
ReplyDeleteNo special pan needed for biscotti. Yay! Yes, they're shaped by hand...first in one log, then sliced and baked again. :)
DeleteCan you leave out the cherries? (The husband is allergic, but is a huge fan of chocolate+almond combo) Also love the measuring cups? Where'd you get them?
ReplyDeleteSure...you might even want to throw in some extra chopped almonds. :)
DeleteRed measuring cups are from Sur la Table and the others I've had for many years....I think they were from Red Envelope.
Wow! Those look good. Made some cheater biscotti this week with a brownie mix, yours looks much better!

Biscotti is my fave! And yours are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bridget for this wonderful recipe. I hadn't made Biscotti in years. I made these for a recent get together and they were wolfed down in no time flat. I even doubled the recipe, but I still only had one left to photograph the next morning. A winner to be sure. Here's my take on it:
