k..so the second vanilla is to be...two eggs my..oops.

biscotti are a stale cookies ....

ugh...that second vanilla is ...2 tsp cinnamon..can I go back to bed now?.........

I visited a girl in Boston years ago and we made some. Fresh ones are so much better than the store-bought version ... there is just no comparison.

Yum.

i make a version with pistachio and cranberry and they are super delicious.

I don't remember exactly what we made as we made several varieties.
I think it was almond/cherry, pistachio/almond, vanilla/almond, and a couple of others. They were great.

And teasingbrunette has provided the "way". Good Job.
