This White Chocolate Strawberry Biscotti Recipe is now among my favorite cookie recipes. The dough smells like heaven before it even makes it into the oven, and the cookies don't disappoint when they come out either. These biscotti go nicely with most teas, as well as coffee and of course milk.
If you are looking for something different, but not "out there" for the cookie swap this year, White Chocolate Strawberry Biscotti might be just the thing.
White Chocolate Strawberry Biscotti
For some reason, I've known people to be intimidated by the prospect of making biscotti. While there is an extra step in making this sort of cookie, they are not difficult at all. Basically you bake a big cookie log, then slice it up and bake it again, like you would croutons. That's all there is to it.
I assure you, once you bake your first batch of biscotti, you'll see there really is nothing to it. Try my Pumpkin Spice Biscotti and Lemon Biscotti with walnuts as well.
Freeze dried strawberries are used due to their low moisture content. Other types of dried out strawberries could be used but fresh are not really suited, unless you dehydrated them first.
While I certainly recommend baking a batch of these biscotti, cake mix can help you make some quick and simple Strawberry Cookies. You can also make Swedish Thumbprint Cookies with Strawberry Jam.

If you don't get a chance to make these cookies for Christmas, they would also be a nice dessert for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day... or any time for that matter.
