If like me you love hard and not too sweet cookies, these Italian biscotti (cantucci) with almonds and Christmas spices are perfect for you. I modified the traditional cantuccini recipe by adding some olive oil and Christmas spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and nutmeg. The spices make these biscotti very aromatic and together with almonds they are perfect to be munched or dipped in hot tea during cold winter days. Like most spiced biscotti you can vary them according to your preferences or using a store bought spice mix such as the one for mulled wine or Chinese five-spice powder. They are simple and quick Christmas cookies as they do not require any type of blender or mixer but simply a bowl and a spoon.
Store in a closed container.
