When December arrives, there’s a big list of recipes to make… not that I have to but more I “want to”. These are my traditional Holiday recipes that I want my family and friends to enjoy. I have my Tourtière (meat pie), Creton, Stuffed Buns, Sucre à la Crème (butter & cream fudge), Ragout de Boulettes avec Pattes de Cochon (meatballs stew with pig’s leg), Spicy Gingerbread Cookies, just to name a few.
Many of these recipes are the ones my mother was making during this time of year. Others were added throughout my life from people I met and relationships I’ve had. For example, when I met David, he introduced me to Christmas Stollen and I have made it ever since.
In my early 20’s, I was engaged to Carlos, a young Italian man from Saint-Leonard which is a borough of Montréal. While dating, I tasted amazing food his mother made who was also teaching me how to make it. Since then I like to make a few during the Holidays like Panettone and Biscotti!
These delicious cookies have been among my favorites ever since. I wish I wrote Carlos’ mother’s Biscotti recipe down but I managed to make them pretty similar to hers. They are full of flavor especially with the added pistachios and cranberries, making them very festive and colorful. I also like their texture which is perfect for dipping in a caffè latte, espresso or hot cup of tea… yum!
This Biscotti recipe is easy to make and they’re great to serve during the Holidays. They also make a nice gift to give your guests so surprise them with these incredible cookies!
Bon Appétit!
