Cantucci, almond cookies for Tu B'Shevat

Cantucci... that’s how these almond cookies are calledin Tuscany.
These cookies can be found all over the country and around the world, being one of the most popular Italian sweets. (Bt the way, the word biscotti is the plural of biscotto, and it means cookies or biscuits.)  A few ingredients might vary from recipe to recipe. And the one that I will share with you is the one that I've been making for many years. I love these little crispy cookies! First of all, it takes only a few minutes to prepare the dough. Second, you can make big quantities as you can store them for several days!
