Chocolate Chip Biscotti

It doesn’t matter how old you get, having dessert for breakfast always sounds like a great idea. Especially this time of year when the last slice of pumpkin pie is totally a balanced meal and the family weekend brunch most certainly includes a heaping pile of cinnamon rolls. Cookies are a little harder to justify. I guess you could call it a “breakfast cookie” but they lack the social acceptance of more traditional breakfast sweets. Enter the Italians.

 

Italians are geniuses. What other culture has come up with a way to make having cookies for breakfast not only acceptable, but stylish? I can’t think of one at the moment. Italians were smart enough to come up with biscotti (that means “twice baked”) which is basically a giant cookie loaf that is sliced and baked again until somewhat crunchy. They paired biscotti with coffee and instantly transformed the cookie into acceptable breakfast fare.

 

The even better thing about biscotti is that it makes excellent gifts! Throw a few in a fancy tin with a coffee cup and you have yourself one extra special teacher/co-worker/neighbor gift. Because nothing says “Christmas” like having cookies for breakfast.
