Biscotti (/bɪˈskɒti/, Italian: [biˈskɔtti]; lit. 'biscuits') is the Italian plural term for any type of biscuit or cookie. However, in English, "biscotti" is commonly used to refer specifically to cantucci (Italian: [kanˈtuttʃi]), which are Italian almond biscuits that originated in the Tuscan city of Prato. These biscuits are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy,[1] and may be dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo. Smaller biscotti may be known as biscottini[2][3] or cantuccini.[4] In Italy, the term "biscotti" encompasses a wide variety of biscuits and cookies of different shapes, sizes, flavors, and fillings.
