Back in October, I embarked upon a 2-month-long adventure: Baking for Pure by Cuppa – the cafe/juicebar inside Harvey Nichols İstanbul (while holding my full-time job, I must add).
In our first meeting with the managers, they asked me to come up with a cookie that has a fairly long shelf life. What better than Biscotti, I thought. Also, to our knowledge, there were not any other coffee shops that sold Biscottis, so we thought it was spot on.
The turnover was much higher than anticipated. Even tough we didn’t need a cookie with a long shelf life any more, Biscottis stayed on the menu and quickly became the best-selling item.
I tested many recipes for these Biscottis and came up with the following, which is a combination of many recipes. Since I don’t bake for the cafe anymore, I can safely share the recipe. Hope you like it.
