In Canada I've only seen these types of cookies referred to as "biscotti", but I don't think it's meant to be a direct translation, it's just what people call them. Wikipedia says that they are also called cantuccini.

I live in Canada and I've only seen them referred to as "biscotti", both in coffee shops and recipe books.

I love biscotti, and usually make it with anise extract and pistachios, but since I just had my daughter and her friend show up for the holidays, and I had not made a batch of biscotti since I didn't know they were coming.  I think now would be the perfect time to try this recipe out.  The request from them was raspberry white chocolate, so I think I will see what can be done with those incorporated into this recipe. 

Recipe looks great, sounds great and GOOD LUCK! Thanks for sharing :)

That sounds fantastic. What did you come up with?

Biscotti simply means twice baked, and since they are twice baked, I would call them Biscotti.  Bon Natale!
