Bake-a-thon 2016: Day 2 Bake of the day: Mini Almond Biscotti
Christmas is less than 20 days away and it is time to bake some cookies for friends and family. I made these Mini Almond Biscotti to send to 3 food bloggers as part of Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange. Check out my Instagram account to see the cookies I received in return.This holiday season I joined some amazing bloggers to spread a little love by participating in Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange. It is hosted by Pintertest Kitchen. We were asked to bake a dozen cookies and send them 3 bloggers. In return we wouldget a dozen cookies from 3 different bloggers. It was a fun way start the holiday season and also to raise money for 2 charities (CLIMATES and No Kid Hungry). I have baked cookies before but never mailed them out. So I was worried on what recipe to pick. I wanted the cookies to taste good even after 2~3 days of shipping time and not crumble in transit. After ruling out many options, I finally decided to bake these mini almond biscotti — recipe from Epicurious.This mini version of biscotti is convenient to pack in a cookie tin and have good shelf life. They were crunchy with lots of almonds and almond flavor. This recipe has 3 eggs and since I was baking these to send out for cookie exchange, I decided not to tinker with the recipe. But I think I’m going to try and make them eggless the next time I make biscotti. This is part of the Bake-a-thon 2016.
What a lovely exchange pavani, must be exciting to send and receive gifts during festive season and that too homemade edible gifts are fun, shows real love, essence of the festivity!! Biscotti’s look yum!!

Wonderfully baked biscotti Pavani. Some how eggless version doesn’t come out this neat. I have tried many recipes.

Biscotti are the perfect cookies for mailing because they have such a long shelf life!
