My Husband's Mother made these every month for all her kids. Great recipe! I am making them for Christmas this year in her honor since she passed away this year.

[@nooralj7855]

Can you share her recipe?

[@diannedelledera3096]

My family is from Syracuse and my aunts would always bring the dozens of Italian cookies for the cookie tray for every wedding. The bride and groom would walk around with the tray and offer cookies to each and every guest, giving the bride and groom a chance to thank each guest for coming to their wedding. We still do this!!

[@ashleyneal7895]

Thanks for this! I've been searching for an authentic biscotti recipe so I can bake some for an Italian patient I have who has Alzheimer's. She talks about baking biscotti when she was a kid so I wanted to make her some.

[@annabelles1622]

You are an angel. How sweet, and kind ❤💐💐

[@kittenheels1958]

That’s really nice.

[@MyheartbeatsGreek]

That’s very sweet and thoughtful of you

[@cathiekishel2364]

Hi Joe, I just wanted to let you know that you are making my most favorite cookie. My grandma and grandpa were born in Italy and they both passed away within two years of each other when I was around 6 years old. Knowing them was the best memories of my life. I am now 67 years old. Anyway, my grandma and I would sit down at the kitchen table and enjoy almond Biscotti and hot tea together. I have kept up with the tradition though I changed to coffee and I have never done any dipping. I never knew any of her recipes so I have to contend with store boughten Biscottis. Now, thanks to you I can make a true biscotti. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!!!

[@ZeeBird439]

I love biscotti but always thought they were difficult to make. I followed your recipe and oh my, they are absolutely delicious and were easy to make! Thank you so much Joe! You are my go to for so many recipes now! Love your personality, channel and recipes!

[@melissadonaggio423]

This is a great recipe !! Followed it exactly but with slivered almonds ... and I drizzled half with chocolate bc I have a sweet tooth ... perfection!

[@margaretsoo1235]

I love biscottis ... so easy to make...now i know....not gonna waste my money in buying them...SO EXPENSIVE here! Easy yo make. I am watching them on my oven mmmmm can't wait until finished🤣

[@sistermay8899]

Hi Joe, thanks for your great recipe ! I like the fact that it has no oil or butter and use whole eggs unlike other recipes only use the whites and I have nothing to use with the yolk left over, seems like a waste to throw them away. It is also very easy with cups as measurement. I made your recipe a few times and it always turn out great so want to yell out a big thank you from the land of Downunder !

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

My pleasure!

[@nym2201]

I didn't have almond extract, so in the middle of making these, I went and got it (good thing we have a grocery store 5 mins away) and I think that it made them better. I also dipped the bottom in chocolate

[@mohameddahir2756]

Thanks Joe for your simple and straight forward recipe. I made Biscotti and loved it,

[@cococ2777]

Thanks Joe, excellent video, my dad was very Italian and my mom she cooked Biscotti cookies with vanilla and anise extract in pure form with walnuts and that was DELICIOUS. I'll have to try your recipe too, I was looking online and some Italians use vanilla and clementine juice. I appreciate your video very much because it helps me to remember how my mom did it very similar. Thanks! Also, nice music!

[@christineweir8979]

Thank you....lovely recipe....I made them today ...but I have to add ...your enthusiasm together with the Italian music🙂in the background....inspired me !!

[@ginawiggles918]

ANISE! I love anise biscotti. ❤My Sicilian Nonna Perino made the best, of course.

[@rogerabifadel9268]

Thanks Joe for the last six month I have being baking this recipe at least once a week everyone likes it. Definitely it is the best recipe ever.

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

[@telerinmarito4184]

Looks really good! I had an Italian friend whose wife made for me every year for Christmas. She passed on due to cancer last year so thought I would make some in her memory. Plus my wife and I really like a good biscotti!

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

+Ratdog 305 Oh yes these are fantastic and wonderful for the entire family. Next day or two when they are stale dip them in a latte and you are in heaven. Thank you for watching and your comments. Please subscribe to our channel for more great recipes and have a wonderful holiday season, Joe.

My go to recipe for biscotti! This is the best. Thank you for sharing

[@Symphonyfor2]

Oh my goodness...First time I've watched you. Very, very fun and entertaining! Thanks so much! I'm making these tomorrow morning!

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Grazie! Ciao, Joe. Please subscribe and share our videos and posts. Joe.

[@JohnG-cw6zm]

I followed Joe's directions and they came out really good. The only problem I had was the cooking time. Either my flour was the wrong kind making the log somehow different than Joe's, or my oven at 350 was not enough heat to do it in 20-30 min. I had to cook the logs for closer to 50 min to get them golden brown and they still were softer as opposed to crispy. I sliced them and returned them to the oven for another 20 min and then flipped the slices and baked them for 10 more min. The only other factor is I am using the "Copper Pan" that we see on TV all the time now. Maybe that somehow changed the process. Regardless, by carefully watching them during log process and carefully watching them again through the slice process, I achieved the expected results . . . just took me more time. Thanks Joe!

[@mariemaugeri3381]

I make anisette biscottti and I turn them on both sides! You only turn them once?

[@angelacedano6274]

Biccoti ! Love the almond and chocolate too ! Ummm. For years have been one of my favorite cookies 💚♥️💙🙏🙏🙏

[@joanparsley2332]

Hi Joe. I always crack my eggs separately too for the same reason, and I also mix my eggs up first in any recipe I'm using: makes sense to me. I found the music distracting because I'm trying to listen to you. Had to laugh seeing you mix the dough by hand only because its hard work. If it was hard for you, its going to be harder for women, especially me as I'm a senior now and I don't mean senior as in high school. Love my Kitchen Aid, though I think I'd prefer a Bosch stand mixer from what I have recently researched. Yes sir, if the mixture smells great and the dough tastes great, then you know your biscotti is going to be delicious! I like to break my biscotti ends over ice cream! I make mine slightly differently, but there is more than one way to make or do anything. Enjoyed the video!

[@sarahchen2650]

Thank you Joe！I just follow your recipe to make my own。my husband really loved it! No butter, no oil，really healthy. that’s I want!

[@antoniazullo2526]

Thankyou for sharing l will be trying those cookies

[@jak30341]

What is healthy about it other than almonds? But to that end, I love sweets and eat way too many. Lol

[@abc-wv4in]

@@jak30341 The eggs have good nutritional value, LOL.

[@joycekamaliirodrigues7993]

I forgot how to make them years the same recipe I used to make great the best biscotti recipe I've ever had thank you

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

That is awesome!

[@carolbulmer8253]

Thanks, Joe! I love biscotti! I’ll be making these for sure😊

[@mrfixit19]

Bravo! Some music, some conversation, biscotti! Reminds me of my off-the-boat grandmother 60 years ago in her kitchen. We'd talk while she baked and the "hi-fi" played Sinatra. Thank you, Joe, trying these tomorrow. Ciao!

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Sounds great!

[@Veronica-dx9rg]

Idk, I like the fact that you talk as much as you do. You’re very informative and interesting. I loved it!! I’m so excited to make this !

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@5555blanch]

[@donnabailey947]

What kind of chocolate would you use if you wanted it coated?

[@sofiablakey6454]

I love biscottis. We buy them at the bakery section at our local supermarket, which are better than the boxed biscottis. But no matter, I love them! They seem simple to make. Thank you for your tutorial!💕💕💕

[@khanscombe619]

Yum , delicious. I have some for the morning. dipped in a layer of dark chocolate & sometimes pistachio or other nuts inside.

[@veecee3669]

Hi Joe, thank you for a yummy biscotti recipe! I'm with you on the not dunking the biscotti (unless it's dunking them in Vin Santo!). Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@Arandomperson_online]

Making this 😍 thanks 😊 enjoying your stories while u bake it’s memories and the tips r awesome to hear 😊

[@nancyrhoads5609]

Like the idea of powder sugar sprinkled on top at the end, rather than dipping in chocolate. Thanks!

Grazie! Ciao Joe.

[@Homerfn]

Marsha Balderrama will have

[@kidmack3556]

I was introduced to these delicious treats at work by a native San Franciscan of Italian heritage. He brought them in from the little corner bakery in the neighborhood that he grew up in. Cuneo's These were softer ones than the ones that are more commonly known. The walnut, the almond and the anise ones were absolutely DEE-licious! Maybe it's good fortune for my health that they retired and closed the bakery, otherwise I might be two hundred and eighty pounds instead of one hundred and eighty pounds. I suppose one could make the softer ones by adding more egg yolk and or shortening and butter?

[@kathywade5548]

I have made them 3 times they are awesome, love them!

[@cindyyeager8627]

Your personality rocks

[@catherineludlum4955]

I make biscotti for Christmas. My mom never made them, but her mom made them. I had my grandma's recipe, but it was like: 2 cups flour, cup sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla. No instructions lol. She was from Sicily. I was making Giada's recipe, but tweaking it. Hers breaks apart too easy so I will try yours. Do you make struffoli? I make them every year for xmas. Thanks for the recipe! It's a pleasure watching you 😊

[@kennethreister7619]
