I don’t know about you, but I really love to eat my chocolate chip biscotti with hot tea. They just pair so well with a black tea and are the perfect shape for dipping. Maybe it is my inner child coming up but I love to dip my biscotti. Crunchy biscotti and hot tea are the adult “cookies and milk”.

In the past, I have always bought my biscotti at the market. However, once I started baking my own, I never looked back. You really can’t beat homemade cookies!

If you like your biscotti not too crunchy, then you would love this recipe. I found the consistency to have the perfect amount of moisture, and crunch.

They paired well with my hot cup of tea I enjoyed afterwards.

How to Store Biscotti

Make sure your cut biscotti are completely cooled before putting them in an air-tight container. These will go really quickly because they are so delicious, but they do keep for up to 2 weeks in a dry, air-tight container.

I have made these twice and ea time they are pretty crumbly, like fall apart a little when I first cut them and then when I try to flip them over. Is that just how they are?

First time I made these they were crumbly when I sliced. They were delicious nevertheless I made them again but changed up how I mixed them. I creamed the butter and sugar first then added the eggs .Followed the recipe as written and found this worked out well
