Sugar Cookie Biscotti

Cheers to the new bride.🥂  We've spent the last weekend celebrating the engagement of our girl and creating memories that will last a lifetime.  As a mom, it warms my heart to watch my child be surrounded by people who love and support her.  I'm truly grateful for all of the friends and family who generously and wholeheartedly showed up for her during special season of her life.  

On a blog post that celebrates the girl who sprinkles sunshine wherever she goes... this sugar cookie biscotti recipe couldn't be more appropriate.  Did I just compare the future bride to a crunchy biscotti?  Yes, I did.🤣   But the sweet, colorful, sprinkle filled treat really does seem fitting for this girl who referred to herself as "cookie" for the first 3 years of her life.😂  

I also think I just unlocked the key to seasonal biscotti.  I'm picturing green sprinkles for St. Patrick's Day, red, white and blue for the 4th of July and red and green sprinkled biscotti for Christmas.  Why haven't I ever thought about this before? 🤣  Sugar cookie biscotti with customized sprinkles may be my new go-to for holiday breakfasts.
