“Old age is no place for sissies.” Bette Davis
The Yummy Factor in this recipe is to shave off 2-3 minutes of cooking time and cut down the toasting time and your Biscotti will be a little chewy. However, it will not keep as long. Best eaten with a few days or kept in the fridge. Experiment in your oven…great after dinner treat.
