Tasty Treat Thursday Almond Biscotti Recipe

By Summer:
This is the first dessert I’ve ever made that my husband’s co-workers thought was store bought but I actually made it. I really think having this effect isn’t difficult; it’s just that biscotti look a certain way. Just like then cookies are a perfect circle. So make some and look professional too!
