Chocolate Chip Biscotti is a delicious spin off the classic Italian Cookie!
A really good Biscotti cookie is pretty hard to pass up… especially when served along side your favorite warm beverage!
Italians figured out a really good thing when they invented these little babies. But, I’ve just gotta say that adding in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and topping them off with the chocolate drizzle- takes right over the top! Mmmmm hmmm.

Biscotti Cookies are baked twice with a little cooling time in between… that’s how they get their incredible CRUNCH!
You’ll love how simple they are to make at home- keep them in an air tight container and they’ll keep for several weeks.
