Almond Cherry Biscotti
I love baking all kinds of cookies, but since I'm Italian, biscotti is my all-time favorite. I remember nibbling on these as a child each Christmas.

Love this recipe, my husband can never get enough
I've been wondering how this would work with marachino cherries instead of the regular fruit cake fruit. I think if they were dried well before going into the batter it would be fine. I liked it this way but I'm also thinking of dipping part of it into some white chocolate. I like recipes that have a versatilit to them.
Wish I could change those stars! This should be a FIVE STAR recipe, but I clicked on the wrong thing and now my review is stuck with 2 stars. This recipe is incredible. I make it every year and people LOVE it! It's easy to make and so impressive.
This cookie is absolutely delicious. I didn't have vanilla so I substituted almond extract. There was no problem with texture.
I made these for Christmas. I made 1 batch and my daughter loved them so much I had to make more. Very tasteful and colorful for the holidays!
Our favorite biscotti recipee! We make this one over and over and love it every time. The only thing I do different is to flip the sliced biscotti half way through the baking time.
I made 4 batches of this in the past few weeks. The first 3 I hand-mixed as the directions imply, and the last I used my mixer. The last was the best result as they were less crumbly and cut much better.They are delicious!
