Biscotti are ubiquitous at coffee shops throughout America and at about $1.50 a piece the biscotti habit (which is easy to get) can become expensive. This is an adaptation of a recipe from my own cookbook, "Deliciously Italian," and you can make about 30 of them for about 1/10th of what they would cost you in Starbucks. Biscotti will keep for a few weeks in an air-tight container. Additional flavorings like anise extract or orange zest can be added to the dough and walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, or pine nuts can be substituted for the almonds.
