Betty, that's a great comparison, these cookies are similar to biscotti but are more moist and have a stronger/fresher flavor. They make a nice dessert with a bowl of fresh fruit or a dish of vanilla ice cream. The recipe makes a large quantity so it's handy to have on hand when you have company or if you want to drop off a plate of cookies.Mr Puffy's Knitting Blog:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129149473915655930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-76553066182734696102011-01-18T19:40:13.149-08:002011-01-18T19:40:13.149-08:00What a blessing to have that young man come and th...What a blessing to have that young man come and thank you - I can understand how that would mean more to you than anything.
