White Chocolate Oreo Biscotti



Biscotti are Italian cookies.

They're baked twice to make them crunchy. I personally like them once baked, but I definitely don't mind them twice-baked. Especially when they have Oreo's in them, like these.


Biscotti are probably one of my favorite things to bake.  I'm not really sure why, but I really enjoy the whole process.  That is, until the cutting process.

Does anyone else have troubles cutting their Biscotti?  I never know if I'm supposed to cut it diagonally or straight across, but I always do it diagonally.  Then I always have awkward pieces at the end... I just assume those are meant to be test pieces.

These Oreo Biscotti have been my favorite ones I've made so far... they were wonderful.  I bet they'd be even better with this Cookies n Cream coffee that I really want.  I drizzled them with melted white chocolate and crumbled Oreo's to add a little more flavor, crunch, and sweetness, since Biscotti aren't super sweet. If you're an Oreo fan, I guarantee you'll like these.  The best thing about these is that you can adapt them however you want; just take out the Oreo's and add your ingredient of choice.

  4. I absolutely love Oreos. I like how you made them nice and fancy, and this way they won't dissolve immediately upon being dipped!
