Italian biscotti cookies: how to prepare the popular dessert at home

Biscotti biscuits are of Italian origin. Their texture is very crispy, and the taste is moderately sweet, with a pleasant sourness added by dried fruit. One portion of dough makes a fairly large amount of these cookies and they stay fresh for a long time. Therefore, it is an ideal baking option for always having something for tea at home.
