Orange-Nut Biscotti

The familiar zwiebacklike cookie originated not at Starbucks but in Italy, where it is nowhere near as popular as it is in the States. Still, it’s nice to have a bunch around, and they keep far better than regular cookies, up to a week in an airtight container. Increase the sugar to a cup if you like your biscotti sweet.

These may be made, of course, without nuts, with lemon instead of orange, or with added ingredients like raisins or even chocolate chips.
