Biscotti (cantuccini) are Italian dry twice-baked cookies: the dough is baked as a log, cut into slices on the diagonal and dried until hard and crisp, usually with almonds, hazelnuts, candied peel or chocolate. They keep for a long time and are served with coffee, tea and the dessert wine vin santo, into which they are traditionally dipped, and also crumbled into ice cream and desserts.
