Candied cherries and pistachios biscotti (Biscottis con pistachios y cerezas )







I have done Biscotti many times but I do not remember how many recipes I have published about them. 
These twice baked italian biscuits are wonderful for dunking in tea, coffe or a dessert.
This recipe with glazed cherries (or dried cherries) and pistacchios is absolutely good and delicious. I also thought that the mixture of cranberries and pistachios would also be very good.
Finally I made a dip of white chocolate to make them better but they are equally rich if you eat alone.
