A few years ago we made pomanders, where you insert whole cloves into oranges in a decorative pattern and you can either hang them with ribbon or place them in a bowl like potpourri. This was a new thing for my family but not only were they beautiful holiday decorations but they smelled amazing. Oranges and cloves go so well together, and we figured that they would taste really good together too. So we made Orange Clove Biscotti.
Biscotti translates roughly from “twice baked” in Italian, because you first bake these lightly sweet cookies in slabs, then you slice them and bake them again. This dries them out a bit, making them great for dipping in tea or coffee. We’re going to be trying some variations with these, one which I’m really excited about which is dipping one of the ends of the biscotti in orange flavored chocolate 
I never knew that’s what “Biscotti” meant…silly me I always thought it meant “Intensely delicious little cookie”.
These ones look really good, and probably really nice with a spicy cup of tea.
