This Thanksgiving biscotti will become your favorite holiday cookie. This chocolate, almond and cranberry biscotti has something for all of your guests.
As soon as the holiday season starts, I start taking in a lot of cookie requests. I pretty much make a list and decided which cookie is going to be made for which event. In our family, we have a ton of birthdays that fall between Thanksgiving and Christmas. By the time the actual holidays roll around, everyone in our family is pretty “caked out.” This leads to plenty of request for cookies, crumbles, and pies.
Every year, this Thanksgiving Biscotti is requested. I’m not surprised because it has something for everyone in it. Cranberries, chocolate, almonds – they are delicious! They also store well in an airtight container so they can be made in advance if baking up a sweat right before guests arrive isn’t your thing. 😉
