Christmas Biscotti…
This video is part of @MitchAndPhilip 's #christmascookieextravaganza2022 follow the hashtag for more great Christmas Cookie recipes and visit @MitchAndPhilip for more fun videos.
Now, although I have made biscotti before I thought I would adapt this recipe to make a Christmassy version. These tasty little treats have spices and flavours to highlight the Christmas theme. Pistachios, cranberries & lemon peel also add the festive colours to this beautiful biscuit…
