Chocolate & Cranberry Biscotti

If you like a cookie with a little more texture, I’d recommend making some biscotti. Based on the name – bi (two) and cotti (cooked) – these cookies are baked twice, which gives them a nice crunch.

The dough was really easy to make and not too unhealthy. They are nicely golden and crunchy. The orange zest gives a nice freshness. The only thing I would comment…
