i decided to make biscottis for a colleagues birthday to go along with a coffee plant i bought from trader joe's. after browsing through allrecipes.com, i landed on a this recipe. the photo looked tasty and the idea of a brownie biscotti sounded delicious. i'm not a huge biscotti fan but i was hoping for a sweet, chocolately biscuit cookie to pair along with the "coffee". for my first time making biscotti, i was pleasantly surprised at the simpleness of the recipe. combine all dough ingredients and then form 2 rectangular loaves on a baking sheet and throw into the oven. after the loaves bake, let them cool and then slice into small biscottis. place the sliced biscottis onto the baking sheet again flat side down, and cook in the oven until they harden. i decided to garnish with semi-sweet and white chocolate drizzling. the extra chocolate drizzle made this a more indulgent treat. surprisingly, it was firm but not teeth-breaking hard like most biscottis. i don't drink coffee so i can't say if this biscotti goes well with coffee...but it's good enough on its own so that's good enough for me.
