Christmas is less than 20 days away and it is time to bake some cookies for friends and family. I made these Mini Almond Biscotti to send to 3 food bloggers as part of Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange. Check out my Instagram account to see the cookies I received in return.This holiday season I joined some amazing bloggers to spread a little love by participating in Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange. It is hosted by Pintertest Kitchen. We were asked to bake a dozen cookies and send them 3 bloggers. In return we wouldget a dozen cookies from 3 different bloggers. It was a fun way start the holiday season and also to raise money for 2 charities (CLIMATES and No Kid Hungry). I have baked cookies before but never mailed them out. So I was worried on what recipe to pick. I wanted the cookies to taste good even after 2~3 days of shipping time and not crumble in transit. After ruling out many options, I finally decided to bake these mini almond biscotti – recipe from Epicurious.This mini version of biscotti is convenient to pack in a cookie tin and have good shelf life. They were crunchy with lots of almonds and almond flavor. This recipe has 3 eggs and since I was baking these to send out for cookie exchange, I decided not to tinker with the recipe. But I think I’m going to try and make them eggless the next time I make biscotti. This is part of the Bake-a-thon 2016.
