LEMON BISCOTTI

These sweet, citrusy biscotti is a perfect sweet treat to make for your mom this Mother’s Day or package in a cute way and give to those special ladies in your life.

I have always loved biscotti. Since the days of the mid to late 90’s and I would drink a cappuccino at the local coffee shop. You know those coffee shops – always brightly colored walls, mismatched furniture quirky art on the walls probably all inspired by an episode of “Friends”. They always sold biscotti and I would treat myself to one from time to time thinking I was so sophisticated . Now it’s all 3rd wave and minimally designed spaces with serious coffee connoisseurs. (Which I admit, I love a good Pour-over and minimal design, for that matter) I will still always look back at the fond memories and nostalgia of those fun coffee shops. And one thing hasn’t changed…my love of a good crunchy treat to dip in my coffee or tea.

I hope these Lemon Biscotti’s hit the spot for you and bring back all the feels like they do for me!
