First Bake
Place the logs into a pre-heated 350-degree oven.
Allow the baked logs to cool for about 15 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, gently slice the logs at a diagonal making cuts that are about ½ inch thick.
Second Bake
Place the biscotti back onto a sheet pan and bake in a 325-degree oven for another 15 minutes or until golden in color.
Allow the biscotti cookies to fully cool on wire racks on the pan which will crisp them up then enjoy them right away or store them in an air-tight container.
Notes
Storing:You can store the biscotti in an air-tight container for up to one week. Store up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
