ITALIAN NUT BISCOTTI
These biscotti's are the old Italian favorites, My Daughter-in-laws Mother always made these at Christmas for everyone to enjoy. Now this is my Favorite Biscotti recipe. I have been making them at christmas time & other times for years. My family always looks forward to my making them.They are great served with coffee or wine. These rusk-type cookies are studded with nuts and flavored with anise. You Twice bake them to a toasty crunchiness. They do take time,But,are well worth it. Prep time does not include Refrigerate time.

DRIED FRUIT AND NUT BISCOTTI
I found this recipe in a magazine years ago and use a different combination of nuts and fruits every time I make it, but dried apricots and pistachio nuts work well here. You might need to adjust the baking and drying times, depending on your oven. Enjoy!
