Biscotti is a traditional Italian cookie originating from the Tuscany region. Its name comes from the Latin "bis coctus," meaning "twice baked," which describes its characteristic preparation of being baked in two stages to achieve a crunchy and dry texture. In Latin America, this type of cookie is mainly known as "biscotti," although in some countries it might have similar names or simply be referred to as an Italian cookie or dry cookie. Its popularity has transcended borders and it has been adapted with different ingredients and flavors, from dried fruits to spices and liqueurs, as in this version that incorporates Kahlúa, a coffee liqueur highly appreciated for its distinctive flavor.
This delicious almond biscotti with Kahlúa combines the traditional crunchiness of the Italian cookie with the aromatic touch of the liqueur, offering a unique experience that invites you to enjoy it accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea. The choice of anise as an extract enhances the flavors and evokes the authenticity of European pastry mixed with a modern touch.
