Rosa's Almond Biscotti

Tis the season for delicate treats, festive bites and sweetness. Nothing too big or excessive, but we do want something celebratory. It's Christmas, after all. Sometimes it's a bowl of cherries, other times a glass of champagne. Oftentimes it's a Christmas biscuit...possibly shortbread, or perhaps something with peppermint. Mostly it's Rosa's Almond Biscotti.

Rosa's Almond Biscotti are what you should make when you want a fool-proof biscuit recipe that is so dearly full of almond flavour and delightfully soft (in contrast to the common weapon-grade hard biscotti we tend to think of). Rosa's Almond Biscotti are what you should make when you have a mountain of egg whites leftover from making ice-cream. Rosa's Almond Biscotti are what you should make for Christmas gifts this year. Well, along with my Christmas Muesli, of course.

Rosa's Almond Biscotti are what you should make. Period.

I'm so looking forward to baking with Rosa and her girls this weekend. Perhaps I'll add another of her gems to my repertoire. If not, I dare say I'll be happy with these beauties forever...
