Red Velvet Cookie Cake

Biscotti

Biscotti seems more of a holiday type cookie to make and not a summer treat, but I wanted to make these because I was watching my favourite British baking reality cooking show and they were making biscotti.

I found this recipe years ago on my cornstarch container and have always made them even before finding out my son was allergic to eggs. Shortbread Cookies 1/2…
