TWD - Fruit and Four-Grain Biscotti


For Tuesday with Dorie this week, I made Fruit and Four-Grain Biscotti.  

Dorie made these cookies as a "scavenger" cookie to use up what she had in the house, so I did the same.  Instead of kasha, I used mixed nuts.  Instead of wheat germ, I used LSA.  The fruit that I used was dried apricots. 

I thought these biscotti might end up tasting too healthy, but no - they were delicious.  The dried apricots added a nice hit of moisture, and the other ingredients worked really well together.  I am not a big fan of standard biscotti, but I really liked these.

To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

I really like these as well. It is a very forgiving recipe.

I love scavenger cookies or ones that use up bits and pieces in the house! And like you I thought they'd be healthy tasting but bonus that they aren't.

What is LSA? I loved these because they weren't too sweet but they did still kinda taste healthy. I also loved the idea of using up what you have on hand! My kinda recipe!

Hi Mardi, it is a mix of ground linseed, sunflower and almond.
