Biscotti (roughly means "twice baked") are crisp Italian cookies often containing nuts or flavoured with spices such as cinnamon, anise etc. Traditionally, biscotti are made by baking cookie dough in long slabs, cutting these into slices, and reheating them to dry them out. The cookies are twice-baked so that they can be stored for long period of time. The texture of biscotti makes the cookie ideal 
for dipping inespresso, tea, or hot chocolate.
