Tis' the season for eating and baking, especially in any Italian American household. This year, I got together with my sister Maria, my niece and my mother for some holiday baking. Mostly, my sister is more the aficionado on baking, I like to document with photos and video and lastly decorate the cookies. We tend to make more traditional Italian cookies, along with my mother's variations, where she usually bakes up a honey biscotto. As you can see to the left. This year my sister incorporated her variation of the cookie which we worked on together and was actually not so time consuming, a great traditional Italian cookie.
Here is the recipe :
Biscotti de Natale
1 lb butter
1 cup sugar
Six eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups flour
6 teaspoons of baking soda
