👩🏼‍🍳 Pro Tips

• Figs are my favorite fruit, but if I used fresh figs, they would retain too much moisture. This would prevent the biscotti from getting crispy enough. Luckily, dehydrated figs are the perfect solution and are available year-round.
• Walnuts are one of my favorite nuts to use in baked goods. As a matter of fact, I can resist most baked goods as long as they don't contain nuts. Walnuts are also very nutritious and high in antioxidants and healthy omega-3 fats. If you prefer, you can use pistachios, almonds, or your favorite nut.
• Chocolate, who doesn't love it? I couldn't resist adding white chocolate chips to this recipe. With the combination of figs, walnuts, cardamom, and chocolate, do you blame me for calling this recipe the "Best Biscotti Recipe?"
• Make sure the biscotti loaves are completely cool before you slice them. A serrated bread knife works best.
• Store biscotti in an airtight container for longer storage. Tin containers work best!
