My mother made traditional mandelbrot with almonds. They were hard as rocks but great to dip in a hot drink. I’ve always been curious about the relationship between biscotti and mandelbrot because of the unmistakable similarities. I thought it was because the Jewish cookies were usually made with oil so as to be pareve, but these have butter, so maybe there is less difference than I thought. Anyway your recipe does sound delicious and perfect for Thanksgiving!

From my research, it seems that biscotti came first in Italy (Tuscany) and spread northward to Central Europe (and later Eastern Europe) where they were modified a bit.
