VANILLA BISCOTTI WITH DRY FRUITS AND CHOCOLATES



  • For this month home bakers challenge, hosted by priya suresh. She challenged with 4 different biscotti recipe. I choose plain vanilla biscotti. I extra add some chocolates and dry fruits.


  • Biscottis are twice baked cookies and they are very crunchy and crispy. The origin of biscotti is italy.  Here i add dry fruits and chocolate pieces to the simple vanilla biscotti recipe. Thats optional. I take only half of this recipe.
