Going into an Italian store is always an adventure for me. One of the many things that I am always fascinated by is the huge glass container filled with tall biscotti sitting upright in the jar. They are typically large enough to feed a family! As much as I like these huge cookies, they are just too big! I wanted a smaller biscotti that would be more suitable for a coffee gathering. I adapted a recipe that uses a filling in the biscotti dough to make them more distinctive. Biscotti are always a hit during the holiday season given their ease of storage and long shelf life, not to mention wonderful in texture and flavour.
I had a little leftover cranberry sauce from my Dairy-Free White Chocolate Eggnog with Cranberry Coulis, so it was a great opportunity to utilise it as a filling in the biscotti. These Holiday Pinwheel Biscotti are a tender, not hard biscotti and they are much smaller in size than traditional biscotti – you’re going to love them! They also make excellent edible gifts.
