Biscotti cookies remind me of my Nonna, she would always have a fresh batch in her kitchen, just waiting to be enjoyed by friends. As a kid I remember dropping by her house, unexpected, and was welcomed with warm cookies and a glass of milk. I would sit around her kitchen table with my Nonno and talk while dunking my cookies in cold milk. These biscotti are a nod to that memory; they are the perfect cookies to enjoy with a large glass of milk, Enjoy!
