This week is the cookie exchange at Pleasant Home. I love this blog, not just for Jodi's gorgeous sewing, but because it's a beautiful, cheerful place to be, full of color and whimsey! Cindy at Rick Rack and Gingham also has a linky for cookies and candies and a lovely blog that you will enjoy.
One of my favorite Christmas cookies is biscotti.
It's super easy to make, and I think because it is twice baked, it travels well and is less likely to get stale. Not that I would know, it never lasts more than a day or two here in the cottage! It's a really great treat with my morning coffee or tea too. There
are a zillion flavors you can make, but this recipe is one of my favorites.
This recipe is actually called Dried Cranberry and White Chocolate biscotti. I was out of white chocolate, but they are just as good with dark chocolate, maybe better:>)
Rather than type out the recipe I'll give you the link. Epicurious.com has the formatting already in place for you to simply print the recipe and start baking, so go HERE and get it. How easy is that!?
Yum.my! :o) I have never made biscotti and would love to give it a try. Your pretty tea cup and saucer looks like the perfect drink on a cold day. :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. Sincerely-Trish
Oh your pictures are inviting!!! I don't know that blog so I'm anxious to go see. I LOVE biscotti and haven't made it before. I still want to try your peppermint popcorn.
ReplyDeleteLooks really yummy!! Thanks for sharing with us! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE biscotti!! I've never tried making it, I always thought it was difficult. Thanks for the link, Kathy!

I have made biscotti and it is fun to make and yummy to eat. This recipe sounds great and I'm going to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing! Your pictures are beautiful. You really do a very nice job of enticing!
ReplyDeleteI love (we love) Biscotti, too! And, I make it frequently, both because of how simple it is to make and how well it travels!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds and looks delicious...I'll have to give it a try - with the DARK Chocolate, for sure!!
I recently came across a recipe for biscotti and have been thinking about trying it. After seeing you lovely little package of them, I think I will. That would make a sweet little gift! Thanks Kathy!

ReplyDeleteSo yummy! I love biscotti too! Gary's aunt use to make it every year..I have not made any myself, I think I will try.
ReplyDeleteI also love your packaging! very pretty.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
I'm sure that little baggie is for your baby sis, right?
ReplyDeleteAll right, I guess I can make my own. Sigh.
We should do a biscotti bar for Christmas. We have a couple favorite recipes here and we could try yours and maybe shame Penny into making some? ;-)
I have made biscotti only once and we did like it. I printed this recipe out and will try it too. Like the others have said your packaging is pretty. I love the tag. I'm always looking at tags because they make the food gift so enticing.
ReplyDeleteOh YUM! Your biscotti looks wonderful and I'll bet it's delicious! What cute decorations and cup too...I am heading over to Be Bop Biscotti to buy mine - one day I will try making them myself!

They look delicious, and I am with you on the dark chocolate. I am all baked out from our party last weekend.
ReplyDeleteOver 45 loaves of bread for take homes, and dozens and dozens of cookies. But I am sure in a week or so I will be moved to make something.
Hope all your preparations are going well!
Happy Holidays! I noticed your thumbnail photo on Rick Rack and Gingham's blog and had to pop right over. What wonderful tips for giving cookies! They look absolutely mouth watering. Tags! Such a great idea! Your blog is so cheery, I am glad to have found you! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, it looks so cozy, and I just read your last few posts. I love biscotti, but have never made it myself. I will have to peek at the recipe for sure.
Sounds like you are enjoying your holidays already. Happy Birthday to Earl. My birthday is tomorrow. Kathy, I turn 62...yikes! Well, I am lost in a sea of my long long To Do List, but really wanting to sip coffee and have some of your biscotti.

What a wonderful presentation the biscotti makes. I might have to make some to tuck in gifts. I'm always looking for something different. Thank you for the recipe link.
ReplyDeleteThey sound delicious and that tag is adorable. I'll probably have to copy it cause it's just so cute. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. You're so right it's all about family. I so love it when the UPS man rings my doorbell. You got a great surprise and isn't it fun to reconnect with those we love? Mimi
