Making your own biscotti is super simple. This Homemade Almond Biscotti uses sliced almonds and almond extract for tons of flavor that pairs well with a cup of coffee.

Hi! How was the weekend? Mine is good, though I still have a small amount of Christmas shopping to get done and it’s stressing me out per the usual. Mark my words I WILL get it all done by this week. I mean, I’m literally running out of time so I sort of have to.

Are you guys doing any sort of holiday cookie exchange? I’ve never aaaaactually done one other than a virtual one like last year, but I am all about Christmas cookie making with my mama. We actually had a cookie baking date on Friday where we ate a lot of sugar and Layla gave us her best “please feed me” eyes the entire time.

If you ARE doing a cookie exchange, I recommend making this biscotti because it’s easy and also unexpected in the best way possible. I was debating what flavor biscotti to make when I saw my almond extract sitting on my countertop. With my recent obsession and all, I know almond biscotti HAD to happen. It’s the perfect texture and obviously pairs well with a cup of coffee. DUH. And, though it’s not a “cookie” (or maybe it kind of is….), it’s a great thing to include in your holiday baking round up. Unlike traditional cookies, one of my favorite things about biscotti is that it lasts forever (assuming you don’t eat it all in one day). 

You can choose to dip it in chocolate if you wish, but it’s also very delicious on its own, and it’s easier. Maybe it’s just me, but I was getting impatient trying to dip all the biscotti in chocolate. If you have the patience for it, do it, but if not, I feel you and I won’t judge.
