The Perfect Almond Biscotti: Mother In Law Recipe!!

Every holiday season, my mother in law was always baking the most amazing Italian cookies. My favorite recipe was her almond biscotti where her kitchen smelled so wonderful with the aroma of roasted almonds and the biscotti were warm and perfectly delicious. I now make them each year for my family and hope you get to enjoy them just as much as my family does! ❤️
