Tammy’s Biscotti are the most delicious biscotti that I have eaten.  And, I’ve eaten plenty.  But, before I describe them, I have to share my “eat-just-one” strategy (that,  of course, failed!).

I developed a strategy a number of years ago so that I wouldn’t eat every last piece of yumminess that I had just baked.  Unless I was serving them to friends or taking them somewhere, I would bake and then freeze them.  I would allow myself one or two right after they were baked but the theory was that if I froze them, I would only take one out of the freezer a night because of course, it was way too much trouble to get up multiple times while I was power-binging on some Netflix series, right??  Best laid plans…​

I was able to pull the “while you’re up…” tactic on Mr. Cutie-pie and that worked!  Or, while I was getting water, I might just sneak a look in my freezer (not to take anything, just to “look”).  And, frozen cookies take just a little bit longer to chomp on, so that was also part of the resistance theory.  

So, you can imagine how surprised I was when I was visiting our amazing life-long friend Tammy in Toronto and she suggested that she pull a few cookies out of the freezer to snack on.  Be still my beating heart!

She had a lovely assortment of cookies (I remember it clearly:  some chocolately noodle-y thing, a shortbread something or other and yeah, ok so maybe I don’t really remember) but the one that stood out was the most incredible biscotti I have ever eaten!
