Biscotti are traditional cookies originating from the Tuscany region of Italy, known for their crunchy texture and characteristic elongated shape. Although their name literally means "twice-baked" in Italian, in Latin America they often go by different names and culinary adaptations depending on the country. For example, in Mexico and Chile they are commonly known as "toasted cookies," while in Argentina they are usually called simply "biscottis" or "dry cookies." These cookies have a long history dating back to ancient times, when they were consumed by soldiers and travelers due to their great durability.
Over time, the recipe has been modified to include various ingredients, such as nuts, spices, and different types of flour, adapting to local tastes and available ingredients. A modern and healthy version that has gained popularity is the oat and honey biscotti, which combines the natural sweet flavor of honey with the rustic and nutritious texture of oats, offering a delicious and nutritious option for cookie lovers.
