This almond lemon biscotti recipe is a go to in my kitchen.
For a while, I had a biscotti every single morning with my iced coffee after the gym. I finally decided I had to get rid of that habit and quit making them for a while.
I’m hoping I won’t get as addicted to them as I did before. In the fall and winter, I like to mix up the recipe with cinnamon for a stronger flavor…perfect for chilly morning – though I still drink it with my iced coffee.
One thing I learned from making these lemon almond biscotti so frequently was to use a serrated/bread knife to cut the almonds.
Most other knives won’t work well, but the teeth on these knives do the trick. Then use it again to cut the biscotti ‘bread’ into cookies!
