The Perfect Coffee Dessert

This weekend I had my kitchen again and I totally took advantage of it.  My husband's birthday is this week and if you know him you know he is not one for desserts.  I wanted to make him a birthday cake, but I knew he would not eat it so I remembered one of his favorite treats, almond biscotti.  This traditional Italian treat is simple and delicious (and even better when dunked in your coffee). 

Biscotti are twice baked and the history behind them is that they were intended to have a long shelf life.  The ingredients are simple, eggs, sugar, flour, toasted almonds, almond extract, baking powder, and salt.
