Biscotti originated in Italy, and have since become a beloved treat around the world. Unlike other biscuits, biscotti are baked twice to get a crispy texture. The little-bitty coffee-hazelnut biscotti have a rich coffee flavor, which is enhanced by the crunch of finely chopped hazelnuts. These biscotti are best enjoyed as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, paired with a cup of coffee or tea.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.	Beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is thick and pale.
3.	Add the instant coffee and mix well.
4.	Fold in the flour and chopped hazelnuts until a dough is formed.
5.	On a floured surface, shape the dough into a rectangular loaf.
6.	Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7.	Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
8.	Using a serrated knife, slice the loaf into little-bitty pieces, around 1/2 inch thick.
9.	Place the pieces back onto the baking sheet and return to the oven to bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
