Almond Biscotti

I am in love with almond biscotti, plain and simple. They are super easy to make, and are super delicious with tea, coffee, or even just plain ol’ snacking! My mother used to love these as well, and I really enjoy making them in her memory. *miss you, Mom*!

I got this recipe originally from Bob’s Red Mill, but had to tweak it a bit, because, well I am ME and I can never leave well enough alone.
