Vanilla Biscotti

This is an easy biscotti recipe that can impress even the most hardened of coffee drinkers! This is also a great base recipe if you want to add any additional flavorings like dried fruit, nuts, or spices.

These are firm enough to hold their shape, but once you take a bite, they melt in your mouth. I dipped and drizzled some of these in dark and white chocolate and that made it even better!
