Biscotti (/bɪˈskɒti/, Italian: [biˈskɔtti]; lit. 'biscuits') or cantucci (Italian: [kanˈtuttʃi]) are Italian almond biscuits that originated in the Tuscan city of Prato. They are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy,[1] and may be dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo. Smaller biscotti may be known as biscottini[2][3] or cantuccini.[4]
Biscottini are adorable Italian cookies, a bite-sized form of biscotti.
