Frequently Asked Questions About Raisin biscotti
What is raisin biscotti?
Raisin biscotti is an Italian twice-baked cookie with dried raisins. Its second bake gives it a dry, crunchy texture, so it is often served with coffee or another drink for dipping.
Why is raisin biscotti baked twice?
Raisin biscotti is baked twice to dry it out and create its characteristic crunch. The dough is first baked as a loaf, then cut into slices and returned to the oven.
How do you eat raisin biscotti?
You can eat raisin biscotti plain or briefly dip it in coffee, tea, or dessert wine. Dipping softens the crisp cookie, which is why biscotti is often served alongside a hot drink.
Is raisin biscotti supposed to be hard?
Yes, raisin biscotti is meant to be crisp and fairly firm because it is baked twice. It should still be biteable; if it is uncomfortably hard, dipping it in a drink can soften it.
What is the difference between raisin biscotti and cantucci?
Cantucci are a Tuscan style of biscotti, commonly made with almonds. Raisin biscotti is defined by its raisins and may include almonds, but the two names are sometimes used loosely for twice-baked cookies.
What ingredients are in raisin biscotti?
Raisin biscotti is typically made with flour, eggs, sugar, and raisins, with recipes often adding butter or oil and flavorings such as vanilla or citrus zest. Some versions also include nuts.
Can you make raisin biscotti without nuts?
Yes, raisin biscotti can be made without nuts; raisins provide the defining addition, while almonds or other nuts are optional in many recipes. Check the recipe proportions if removing nuts, since they affect the loaf’s texture.
What should you serve with raisin biscotti?
Serve raisin biscotti with coffee, tea, or a dessert wine. Its sweet raisins pair especially well with unsweetened drinks, and the firm cookie is convenient for dunking.
How should you store raisin biscotti to keep it crisp?
Let raisin biscotti cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keeping moisture out is the key to preserving its crisp texture.
Can you freeze raisin biscotti?
Yes, raisin biscotti can be frozen in a well-sealed freezer-safe container. Let it thaw while still covered, then allow it to air-dry briefly if the surface has softened from condensation.

What is Raisin biscotti?
Raisin biscotti is an Italian twice-baked cookie: the dough is baked in a loaf, sliced, then baked again until dry and crisp. Raisins add chewy, fruity pockets of sweetness to the firm biscuit, which is traditionally made for keeping and dipping rather than eating like a soft cookie. In Italy it is often served with coffee, and some enjoy it dipped in Vin Santo. Elsewhere, it pairs just as naturally with tea or a cup of black coffee. Its nutritional profile is mainly carbohydrate, with 72.4 g per 100 g, so it works well as a sweet snack alongside a drink. For a modest serving, have a couple of pieces and choose an unsweetened beverage to keep the pairing less sweet.
