Coffee-Hazelnut Biscotti
A favored pairing with a cup of coffee, biscotti is quite literally a very tough cookie. The biscotti's hardness is due in part to the heaviness of the dough, as well as its two baking times. The dough is formed into loaves that are first baked and then sliced on the diagonal into long pieces. A serrated knife or an electric knife works best in this step, offering a sharp edge to cut through the hard outer surface of the cookie.
