Biscotti, a classic Italian treat, are crunchy, twice-baked cookies often enjoyed alongside coffee or tea. Originating from the region of Tuscany, they were traditionally made to have a long shelf life, ideal for travelers. Crafted from a simple dough of flour, sugar, eggs, and almonds, modern variations may include chocolate, dried fruits, or spices. Biscotti's unique texture comes from slicing and baking the cookies twice, which gives them their signature crispness. Nutritionally, biscotti are relatively low in fat due to their butter-free base, though some recipes may include added oils or fats. They provide energy from carbohydrates and a bit of protein from nuts and eggs. While typically high in sugar, opting for recipes with less added sweetener and nutrient-rich ingredients like whole-grain flour or seeds can make them a healthier option. Enjoy in moderation as a satisfying snack or dessert!
