Cherry Almond Biscotti

When I think of my favorite childhood memories, one of the most pleasurable ones was drinking hot chocolate and dipping a cookie inside.

These Cherry Almond Biscotti are crunchy and are shaped for dipping into wine, coffee, and hot cocoa. Perfect for my nostalgia.

Don’t think that that just because these Italian cookies are made for dipping they don’t have any flavor. On the contrary, I aromatized them with vanilla, almond, and lemon zest. The combination of the 3 with the chewy cherry and crunchy almonds, make these Cherry Almond Biscotti your favorite cookie recipe.

I am sure you’ve seen them sell in stores and bakeries and wondered if they were easy to bake at home. The answer is yes! They are definitely a no-brainer. You don’t even need a mixer, just 2 bowls, a whisk and a spatula. Biscotti literally means baked twice in Italian. With these cookies, you need to first bake them, then slice them and then re-bake them to get the crunchy texture we’re looking for.

 But keep in mind, I don’t pair my Cherry Almond Biscotti with just any drink. I use the new Starbucks® Hot Cocoa K-Cups® available in 2 flavors: classic cocoa and salted caramel hot cocoa. I loved them!

Both flavors are delicious, with the perfect amount of sweetness, smoothness, and creaminess. They are made with real cocoa and low-fat milk, all you need is your Keurig machine and you’re all set to embark on this flavor journey. Next time I’ll top mine with some marshmallows and some whipped cream.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almonds coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries

  5. Add the egg mixture into the flour mixture folding gently with a spatula
  6. Pour in the chopped almonds and cherries. Mix with your hands until the dough is combined. Do not overmix
  7. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts
  8. Form each dough into a flat log approximately 12 inch long and 3 inch wide. Place the logs* on the sheet pan. Leave a space between them since the dough tends to spread during baking

  10. Remove from the oven and let the cool for 10 minutes
  11. Using a serrated knife (bread knife) cut each log diagonally into 1/2" inch slices (approximately)
  12. Place the cookies on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper
  13. Bake for 10 more minutes
  14. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a cooling rack
Recipe Notes

If dough seems too sticky, moisten your hands with some water
