They are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. Shaped like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cooking.nytimes.com\/recipes\/1017094-taralli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taralli<\/a>, these biscotti will enhance your holiday cookie list.<\/p><p>In Campania, the tradition of making these festive biscotti begins around December 8th, celebrating the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It continues throughout the Christmas season, concluding with Epiphany on January 6th.<\/p><p>This recipe is infused with savory holiday spices, almonds, and a hint of cocoa. The preparation is simple: mix the ingredients, then you can shape and bake your delicious almond-spiced biscotti. The enticing aromas that will waft through your kitchen as they bake are truly unforgettable. These cookies are perfect to bake right before your guests arrive.\u00a0 The delightful scents will have their mouths watering the moment they step into your home. This is a surefire way to whet everyone\u2019s appetite before a holiday meal.\u00a0<\/p><p>These Neapolitan treats are a perfect companion for a glass of your favorite wine, coffee, or tea. I like to serve them with a traditional northern European holiday drink called\u00a0gl\u00f6gi, also known as glow wine. They are also perfect for enjoying on their own as a delightful snack.\u00a0They store well in a covered plastic container, making them easy to transport as tasty gifts for your family and friends. Don\u2019t miss out on this festive tradition! Now, let\u2019s dive into the recipe below and prepare a delicious addition to your holiday cookie tray this year.<\/p><div id=\"print-me\"><h1>Almond Spiced Biscuits | Neapolitan-Style<\/h1><p>(Makes 15-17 cookies)<\/p><h3>Ingredients<\/h3><ul><li>500 g all purpose flour<\/li><li>400 g sugar<\/li><li>250 g of almonds roughly chopped with peel<\/li><li>200 gr of lukewarm water<\/li><li>grated peel of 3 oranges<\/li><li>grated peel of 2 lemon<\/li><li>1 teaspoon bitter cocoa powder<\/li><li>Spice mix: Combine 12 g of cinnamon, 2 g of nutmeg, 2 g of pepper, 2 g of cloves, 2 g of coriander, 2 g of star anise<\/li><li>1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<\/li><li>1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water for brushing (whisked together)<\/li><li>Powdered sugar for garnish<\/li><\/ul><h3>To Make<\/h3><ul><li>Preheat your oven to 350\u00a0<b>\u00b0<\/b>\u00a0F.<\/li><li>In a large bowl sift the flour then add the spices, baking powder the zests, chopped almonds, and sugar.
