Biscotti (/bɪˈskɒti/; Italian pronunciation: [bisˈkɔtti]; English: twice cooked) also known as cantuccini (English: coffee bread) are twice-baked cookies (or biscuits) originating in the Italian city of Prato. The biscuits are oblong-shaped almond biscuits made dry and crunchy through cutting the loaf of dough while still hot and fresh from baking in the oven.
