Biscotti Cookies
Crisp, twice-baked Italian cookies made for coffee. Learn the ritual, the history, and the best ways to enjoy biscotti cookies at home.
Biscotti cookies are not just “another cookie.” They are a whole ritual. You brew coffee, pour tea, or warm up cocoa, then reach for something crisp that was literally baked to be dipped and enjoyed slowly. That is the magic of biscotti cookies. They feel a little more elevated than a chocolate chip cookie, but still hit the same sweet spot when you want something cozy and satisfying.

What are biscotti cookies?
Biscotti cookies are traditional Italian cookies baked twice, and that second bake is everything. The first bake gives you a warm loaf that smells like home. Then you slice it into long cookies and bake it again until it turns crisp and golden. That’s the secret to the snap.
To me, biscotti has always been the cookie you don’t rush. It’s made for coffee, espresso, or tea. You dip it, you take a bite, and you get that perfect mix of crunchy and tender. It’s not soft, messy, and gone in two seconds like a regular cookie. Biscotti holds up. It hangs with you.
Twice-baked crunch
The second bake is what makes biscotti cookies crisp and dunkable.
Made for coffee
Biscotti cookies are the best “coffee cookie” because they hold up and stay satisfying.
Flavor you can taste
From toasted nuts to rich cocoa, biscotti flavors come through in every bite.
Perfect for gifting
Crisp cookies ship well, look beautiful, and feel like a thoughtful treat.
The biscotti ritual
If chocolate chip cookies are a quick snack, biscotti cookies are a moment. You do not eat them standing over the sink. You sit down. You take a breath. You dip. You slow down for a minute to enjoy the moment.
Coffee and almond biscotti cookies
In Italy, this isn’t a “treat.” It’s breakfast. Brew your coffee, grab one or two Almond Biscotti cookies, and take a second for yourself before the day starts. Dip it quick. Crisp outside, tender inside, and that toasted almond flavor makes the first sip taste even better.
Afternoon Reset with Our Fan-Favorite Cranberry Pistachio
This is your fifteen-minute reset. A cup of coffee or tea, one or two Cranberry Pistachio biscotti, your favorite lounge chair, and a good book. Dip, bite, breathe. That tart cranberry wakes up your taste buds, the pistachios keep it satisfying, and for a few minutes, it feels like the day finally slows down.
Evening Ritual with Double Chocolate
This is the one for chocolate lovers. If you’re like me, sometimes you need something late at night that hits the spot. I pour a short glass of cold milk, grab one Double Chocolate Biscotti, quick dunk, one bite. The chocolate chunks coat your tongue, the rich cocoa flavor takes over, and next thing you know… you’re reaching for “just one more.”
How to turn biscotti cookies into a ritual
This is where biscotti cookies separate themselves from “regular cookies.” A chocolate chip cookie disappears fast. Biscotti cookies slow you down. They turn a snack into a moment.
The 1-second dunk
Dip once. Count to one. That is the sweet spot. Crisp outside, tender inside.
Biscotti cookies cereal
Break a biscotti into pieces, pour cold milk over it, and eat it like cereal. It’s weird in the best way.
The coffee pairing rule
Dark chocolate loves espresso. Almond loves cappuccino. Cranberry pistachio loves tea. Match the cookie to the drink and it tastes even better.
The “one piece” test
Most brands can stop you at one. Great biscotti cookies make you reach for another without thinking.

A personal note from Bruno
Since 2019, I have been handcrafting biscotti on Long Island, inspired by the cookies I grew up with.
I have a vivid memory of my grandmother coming over for Christmas when I was in fourth grade. It was the last day of school before holiday break, and our teacher sent us home with a mountain of homework. It was a Friday night. I walked into the house and my grandmother was already there, sleeves rolled up, ready to bake.
I sat at the kitchen table and started working through my homework while the biscotti baked. A couple hours later, the whole house smelled like warm vanilla and toasted almonds. I still remember that smell like it was yesterday. By the time the biscotti came out of the oven, my homework was done, and I was ready for the best part. A big plate of fresh biscotti and a cold glass of milk.
Even now, biscotti is still a big part of my life, and not just because I bake it. Whenever I travel, if I see biscotti on a shelf and I have never tried that brand before, I buy it. Every time. I’ll eat it even if it’s not great. It’s my way of checking in and reminding myself what biscotti should taste like. It always makes me come home even more proud of what we bake.
I also have a funny rule for myself. I tell myself I will eat “just one piece.” That works with most brands. With my biscotti, that is not how it goes. It’s usually half a bag. Sometimes the whole bag. I’m not proud of it. But I’m also not alone.
The only complaint we hear
People do not complain about the flavor. They complain about self-control. More than anything, we hear the same sentence again and again: “I ate the whole bag.”
“Best biscotti… I ate the whole bag in one day.”
Candice Jarvis
“The deep chocolate taste was unreal. I wanted to eat the whole bag.”
Marsha, verified customer
“Thank God. I don’t want any other brand. I don’t have any leftover. I’m literally having withdrawal symptoms from not having any of your biscotti in the house.”

How we elevate biscotti cookies beyond “regular cookies”
Biscotti cookies are not meant to be soft and forgettable. They should be crisp, rich in flavor, and built for coffee. We bake in small batches on Long Island, using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and a touch of sea salt at the end. That finish is subtle, but it makes the flavor pop.
Small-batch baked
Every batch is baked with care, for the same texture and snap every time.
Craft flavors
We blend tradition with modern flavor combos people actually crave.
That hint of sea salt
It is the little thing customers always mention. A clean finish that makes you want another bite.
Perfect for shipping
Biscotti cookies travel well, so you can send them as gifts without stress.
Best biscotti cookies to start with
