Biscotti are one of those cookies that I love with a good cup of coffee. Heck, I think when the blizzard season finally comes, part of my “blizzard prep” will be baking a batch of these so I can cozy up on the couch and enjoy while Mother Nature wrecks havoc outside. (Yes – I know – I’m cursing us for a whiteout soon but this gal wants snow for Christmas, okay?). I’m even making some of these for holiday gifts – they are that good.
One of my staple pantry ingredients is dried cherries and I always have bottles of rum at the ready, whether it’s Cruzan or Morgan. I decided to play with a basic vanilla biscotti recipe from Taste of Homeand what goes better with vanilla but cherries – especially if they are rum soaked. If you are making this for the kiddos, feel free to leave out the rum. These treats were perfect for my Deck The Halls Biscotti because, as we all know, chocolate pairs VERY well with cherries.
Forget store bought biscotti – these Cherry Vanilla Biscotti are perfect for the holidays and then some.
On to the recipe:
Gather the ingredients
Soak the cherries in a bit of Cruzan
Yes – the dough was sticky – thank heavens for the silpat. We’ll just call the log “rustic”
Freshly baked and ready to be sliced.
Back in the oven and
