Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Biscotti are a type of crispy, Italian cookies that are baked twice. The double baking, which is typically done by baking a log of dough once, slicing it, then baking the newly cut pieces, is what gives the cookies their crunch and gives them an unusually long shelf-life. While a regular chocolate chip cookie can be kept for a few days, biscotti can last for up to a few weeks.
Traditionally, biscotti were flavored with anise, but these days, they come in a wide variety of flavors. This photo shows a fresh batch of Nutella Biscotti, baked by Maya of, She paints the Kitchen. They used cocoa powder for a chocolaty flavor, nutella (of course), chocolate chips and, if you like nuts in your biscotti, chopped hazelnuts can be added as well. The recipe for the biscotti can be found here and they make the perfect complement for a cup of hot coffee, the chocolatiness of the cookie blending beautifully with the coffee as you dunk in each bite to soften it.

Coworkers often ask for one too when he makes them work late. They last several weeks and are easy to bake. I make Cappucino, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Almond Chip, with ground almonds, and Gingerbread. These look great and I'm going to try them. I love Nutella anyway.

These look great. I'd have to add hazelnut to them,
though, to enhance the hint of the nutella.
