You'll be remembered for these cookies when you serve them for a morning coffee or at a gathering. Melted chips drizzled on top make them look fancy, but they're so easy to make.—Julianne Johnson, Grove City, Minnesota

These buttery, tender, biscotti-like cookies are great with coffee or tea. The recipe makes a generous amount of rusks and they freeze well.
