Why: Another game night with family was planned for new years eve and I desperately wanted to use some hazelnuts I had hanging out. I searched for recipes including hazelnuts and it was either shortbread-ish cookies or a chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. Based on what I already had in the fridge, I went for the cookies.
What: This is the first time I made biscotti (weird, I know. They're super simple and one of my favorites). I used this recipe and followed it exactly. Next time I will definitely cut down on the nuts, a full cup was too much. Even with chocolate on top all I could taste was nuts. Also, as some of the comments noted, biscotti is great because it lasts forever but since the recipe has butter there is a chance that they will spoil quicker. I'll try a few other recipes but I'm happy to say that I am no longer intimidated by biscotti.
