Nana Yelapi’s Soft Biscotti Cookies
Submitted by Desiree Leader
These were a Christmas staple for our family when I was growing up – my Mom made them every year! Since she has passed, I realized that there are recipes that I don’t have, and I thought were lost forever.
I asked my aunt if she had my mother’s recipe, and she told me that it was actually my Nana’s recipe, which means it is from “The Old Country” (Italy). These are not the biscotti that we have here that is twice baked. I also add anise flavoring to the frosting, but you can use vanilla if you prefer. These are the perfect treat for Christmas Eve, or anytime I miss my mother.
