Biscotti are a fantastic edible gift for a whole host of reasons: they are easy to make ahead and freeze, they keep for several weeks at room temperature, they are versatile cookies that are easy to tweak to your own preferences, they seem hard to make but really aren’t, and they are great with favorite dinks like coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. They are also sturdy so you can wrap them in fun and interesting ways. This recipe is my favorite version of holiday biscotti - they feature cherries and chocolate, with almonds thrown in for good measure. They would be equally tasty with cranberries and orange zest, or for a savory twist, add a Tbsp. or so of ancho chile powder to the dry ingredients.
