So it wasn’t good enough to give you the recipe for Homemade Almond Biscotti – I’ve made a video tutorial showing you not only how to make biscotti, but also a couple of great ideas on how to package them for gift giving.
I really love giving this biscotti as a gift-it come across as ultra classy without having to spend a bundle. For years I made several HUGE batches, packaged them up in tins and sent them to all my family members as a Christmas treat. Of course now shipping costs have gone up so much that only folks I can hand deliver to get my cookies 🙂
If you want to get super fancy with your biscotti-try melting some chocolate in a double boiler or your microwave and either dipping the cookies or drizzling some over. . . talk about a gourmet treat!

Great video on the biscotti making. I have made it myself a few times but the results don’t look great. I will have to try this recipe. What is better is that you showed using the same stoneware I use so it gives me an idea how the loaves should look on the pan. I am so glad I too the time to watch this today.
I cut the sugar down to 1 c and cut the white flour down to 1.5 cups then added 1 c whole wheat flour. I added 1/4 cup cocoa to make some yummy chocolate biscotti, also sub vanilla for the almond. I didn’t like how sweet it was with 1.5 cups sugar. Thanks for the recipe Jenn.
Oh, forgot to say EVERYONE is very impressed that I’m making biscotti.
I am trying this for gifts this year, also, cut down the sugar by 1/2 c., and used 1/3 portion white whole wheat flour (very fine), also kneaded in some sliced almonds as I shaped them……….I noted a possible typo in your video, the screen showed “1TBS” almond extract, but you said and had printed in the recipe “1 tsp”……which is what I did, but it could be confusing. I will enjoy going back to your site when I have more time after the holidays…glad I found you! Chicago transplant girl
Christine-Wow, I’ll have to double check that. I think I did use 1TBS when I made them for the video, and they were yummy.
Oh, and your variations sound great!
Hi Jenn – Thanks for the biscotti tutorial! I added 1/2 cup dry cranberries & 1/2 cup sliced almonds….fabulous! It’s only Februrary, but I was in the Thrift store and found vintage thick glass banana split dishes. I bought 4 of them for $2 each. They will be Christmas gifts for my brothers & sisters this coming Christmas – just the right shape and size for a half dozen of your biscotti, tied up with holiday cellophane & ribbon …a gift I’ll be proud to give. Great recipe!….Cyndy Lee – Markham, Ontario, Canada
