These traditional Italian biscotti are fool-proof. I know, because my mom and I have been making them for years. They're classic no-frills biscotti that are just chock-full of toasted whole almonds and laced with fragrant orange zest. They're satisfyingly firm rather than jaw-breakingly hard, which makes them ideal for dunking in hot coffee. Biscotti can be made ahead and stored. Given their sturdy texture, they stand up well to packing, so they make a great edible gift to mail.
