They taste like honey cookies, but there’s something more here that makes them even better.
Perhaps it’s the biscotti shape? Or the extra chewiness that makes them more satisfying than a regular cookie? We’re not quite sure what it is that makes these biscotti recipe from Sara Bluma Fein our cookie of the season.
Can I use a bowl and fork instead of taking out my mixer? The answer is yes!
Just start by mixing the margarine through coffee mixture first. And yes, turbinado sugar does add a nice taste and twist, so go for it!
Then add the dry.
The mixture will be sticky, so it’s a good idea to use wet gloved hands to make your biscotti loaves so they don’t stick to you.
2 small loaves is perfect.
Like all classic biscottis, you’ll slice and bake these a second time.
Beauties!

Im going to try with a coffee glaze mmmm
I just made them for a nshei event that Im hosting. Had some already, they were delicious! Thank you so much!
Can you sub oil for margarine?
I used canola oil instead and also swapped out the sugar for occur sugar. Was delicious!
*coconut sugar
First time I made it I inadvertently left out the eggs Gotta say, was still delicious and extra crispy. Can work as an egg free recipe
** i believe turbinado sugar is demerara
The recipe steps completely skip the egg and honey. Could be why another reader accidentally left out the eggs. Can you please revise?
Read step 2, it includes all wet ingredients.
What could be used other than the coffee water for flavoring? I just don’t do well with coffee, but I really want to make this recipe…
