Chef John's Almond Biscotti
My almond biscotti recipe is pretty straightforward and you are rewarded with a big batch of classic Italian dipping cookies. You can add hazelnuts, pistachios, and any type of dried fruit. Or dip them in dark chocolate.

These buttery biscuits get a light hint of sweetness from added honey. Serve them warm, with additional honey, jam, or whatever you like on your biscuits.
