"These cookies aren't for everyone, but they are my personal favorite. They are very different from other cookies. The flavor and texture are much more intense."

These are certainly different from most of the other biscotti I've made, but interesting, too, what with the honey & whole wheat flour ~ Definitely a nice addition to any biscotti tray! Will be keeping this recipe around & making it again during the holidays, & will probably double or triple the batch! Thanks for posting! [Tagged, made & reviewed in My-3-Chefs]
