Cheddar Garlic Biscotti

If you follow the news in any capacity, I'm sure you've heard that it is snowing in Seattle. A few days ago, weather experts were predicting we would see record amounts of snow-some have been dubbing it snow-mageddon. Nonetheless, we've had a lot of snowfall in the past 4 days. With my car safely in my garage, being snowed in has had its privileges.

The kids have been outside building life-sized snowmen, sledding, throwing snowballs at each other, and snowboarding down our 200 ft. sloped driveway. Anticipating the possibility of being snowed in for a couple of days, I stocked up on staples to make sure we had enough food to make it through the week without having to worry. This afternoon while my husband took the kids sledding I enjoyed the view from my kitchen window as I kneaded dough in a still and quiet house. I made a small batch of savory Cheddar Garlic Biscotti as an after-sledding snack. 

The moment everyone started trickling in, they began to comment on the aroma wafting throughout the house. I could tell by the enthusiasm in their voices they were hungry and excited. The biscotti was gone in 15 minutes.

Perfect as a snack by itself, this savory biscotti (toasty on the outside and slightly soft on the inside, like a biscuit) also pairs well with a bowl of tomato soup or salad. If you and your family enjoy savory baked goods, this recipe is a keeper.
