BISCOTTI and SHORTBREAD

Before Thanksgiving, I needed to bake(cuz I had nothing else to do!).  I was visiting a friend (couldn't go empty handed) so it was the perfect excuse.

Made the chocolate chip biscotti from Maida Heatter's Brand New Book of Great Cookies.  What I really wanted to make were her milk chocolate biscotti's(my favorite).  But when I realized that I had turned to the wrong page, the ingredients were already measured out and it was too late.  Lots of friends benefited from my mistake!

The lemon zest and the anise seeds make this recipe.

These are delicious.  They are the cranberry, pistachio biscotti from epicurious.com.

One of the best shortbreads I have ever made.  They are a brown sugar, walnut shortbread from epicurious.com.  Yum Yum!

Holiday baking to come!
