Biscotti della Cocco


These cookies are light and airy with an outer crunch and a soft chewy center. A hit of orange and chocolate in every bite, life is so sweet!

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

  7. These look perfect Chef Chuck, just the right amount of chocolate drizzle to enhance the coconut ever so slightly. Perfection with a shot of espresso!
