Kahlua Almond Biscotti is a cookie that is typically enjoyed with coffee or tea. It is a variation of traditional biscotti, which is an Italian cookie that is baked twice to make it crisp. Kahlua Almond Biscotti has a unique flavor due to the addition of Kahlua, an anise-flavored liqueur, and almonds that give it a nutty taste. The biscotti can be enjoyed as a dessert or a snack any time of the day. It goes well with coffee or tea and can be dunked in either of them for added flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

8.	Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet.
9.	Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is firm and lightly golden.
10.	Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
11.	Using a serrated knife, slice each log into individual biscotti pieces.
12.	Arrange the sliced biscotti on the baking sheet and return to the oven.
