Mmmmm--there's been a lot of cooking at my house for the past few days. Yours too? I enjoy giving food gifts, and I'd found a new biscotti recipe (Double Chocolate Chunk) that was just begging to be tried. So I thought I'd take a few pictures and share it with you too.
I started with a sentiment from JustRite's Christmas Nested Sentiments set stamped in Pure Poppy ink on Vintage Cream cardstock, and I cut and embossed it with a Spellbinders Labels Five die template, and matted it with a Labels Fourteen die template. For the lid top, I used a Small Standard Circle die template, and for the trim on the bottom of the can I used a Jumbo Scalloped Borderabilities Petite. Papers are all from Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather Collection (Deck the Hollies and Jack Frost).
As for the biscotti, I added extra chocolate of both the white and semi sweet varieties, and I added some dried cranberries too. I guess that white chocolate on top is a little thick. . . but we're not talking about yogurt and granola here anyway, are we? These were a little less crunchy than biscotti that I'd tried before, but it didn't hurt them a bit. They were soft enough to be eaten without being dipped into coffee, but they were good dipped too. Mmmmmmmmm. . .
