Thank you to Dixie Crystals for sponsoring this Pistachio Biscotti post. Opinions are my own. Biscotti are twice baked Italian oblong cookies . They’re perfect for dunking in your morning coffee or tea.
If you’re looking for a cookie that you can enjoy quietly this probably isn’t the cookie for you. The CRUNCH that you hear when you bite into a biscotti is part of what makes biscotti, biscotti. They’re not too sweet, have amazing texture and can be made with just about any combination of fruits and nuts you like. These biscotti feature pistachios and lemon which I think are quite the dynamic duo. Delish as is BUT we like things a little extra around here so we dipped half of our biscotti in chocolate and then sprinkled additional crushed pistachios on top.
When you’re ready to make a batch yourself, check out the recipe HERE on Dixie Crystal’s website!
