Celebrate National Biscotti Day on Sept. 29 with an array of delicious cookies! This day pays homage to the crunchy Italian cookie that has been a popular treat since the 16th century. It comes in many different shapes, sizes, and flavors - from chocolate chip to lemon poppyseed - making it perfect for any occasion or snack time craving. Enjoy one (or two) biscotti today and make sure you share some with friends and family!
Making biscotti is not nearly as hard as it seems. All you need is flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder and some flavorings of your choice. Mix the dough, roll it out flat, bake it in the oven and let it cool before slicing into individual biscotti.
Take a trip to the local bakery for a variety of biscotti flavors. Enjoy different versions of classic biscotti with nuts and dried fruits or try interesting new flavors such as lemon or white chocolate.
Crush up some biscotti and add it to coffee or tea for a special treat. Or make a festive cappuccino by topping off with crushed biscotti and cinnamon.
Design an attractive dessert tray featuring several varieties of biscotti along with other treats like fresh fruit, gourmet chocolates, cookies or candied nuts.
Biscotti makes a wonderful gift for friends and family. Package them in decorative tins or boxes along with a card wishing them happy National Biscotti Day.
Biscotti has a unique taste that is both sweet and crunchy. It pairs perfectly with coffee or tea, and is the perfect accompaniment to other desserts like ice cream and cakes. Plus, there are so many flavors of biscotti to choose from - chocolate chip, hazelnut, almond, cranberry - that you're sure to find something you'll love!
If you're feeling creative why not try making your own biscotti? Mixing up the dough only takes a few minutes and then you can bake your biscotti in the oven for about 20 minutes. You can even customize them with whatever mix-ins you have on hand - dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips - for an extra yummy treat!
Nothing says "I care about you!" like a homemade batch of biscotti. Packaged in cellophane bags with ribbon ties, they make fantastic gifts to give during the holidays or as hostess gifts when visiting family and friends. Plus, they keep well for weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge or freezer!
