Growing up, biscotti weren’t in the repertoire of Christmas cookies that my family would make. I suspect that simply has to do with the fact that we don’t have any Italian heritage in our family tree.

It has been years since I have made them so they are long overdue to be in our bakery case. Another reason to have this cookie in the line up is that I love pistachios and I really wanted a cookie that contained them – here is one. Hopefully more to follow…
