making the biscotti rounds

All of the biscotti has been baked, rebaked, packaged, and a lot of it has been delivered.

The white chocolate spice and cranberry/pistachio biscotti came out as good as, if not better than, the first two batches. It certainly did not hurt that the dried cranberries were soaked for quite some time in a generous bath of Absolut Mandarin vodka.

The spice biscotti were only baked once, and they ended up bigger (I always forget how much something that has baking powder (and soda) in it will rise) and less crunchy than the others. Still very good, but more cookie like. Topping them with a drizzle of melted white chocolate was a nice touch.

Small batches were placed in festive green GladWare and many are now resting with friends.
