I’ve got a new feature here on Shugary Sweets today. It’s called: Reader’s Choice!
Last month I asked a question on facebook asking “if there is ONE recipe you’d like to see me create what would it be?” Well, Cynthia R. this one is for you! You asked for Caramel Macchiatto Biscotti (like Starbucks).
You had me at biscotti.
I love biscotti. I seriously should have a category up there just for biscotti. Think about it. It’s a cookie. That you are allowed and encouraged to eat for breakfast. To dunk in coffee. YES. YES. YES.
I tried to find this biscotti at my local Starbucks but they had no such thing. So, I have no idea what to compare mine too, or if it even needs comparing. These are amazing.
I store my biscotti in ziploc bags on my counter to keep them fresh. This one lasted nearly two weeks. I tried to limit myself to one per day (and no, the kids were not allowed to indulge in these). Not because of the espresso, but because I was greedy and didn’t want to share!
You’ll understand when you make them for yourself. And please don’t be afraid of biscotti. While is sounds like a snooty type of breakfast food that only Europeans know how to make…IT’S NOT. Biscotti is actually quite easy to make, and very forgiving. Mix ingredients, shape into a rectangle with finger tips, bake, slice, bake again. Delicious biscotti in one hour. You CAN do this!!
Want more biscotti ideas? Well you’ve come to the right place. Once you make your first version, you won’t be able to stop. You’ll be like a bakery with lots of options every morning!
If you’re not following me yet, make sure you find a way to keep up with the latest at Shugary Sweets. I want to hear from YOU and what YOU would like to see featured next month on Shugary Sweets! I also have TWO awesome giveaways in February and already lined up another HUGE giveaway in March! You don’t want to miss these. Plus, aren’t you curious to know what’s going on in my kitchen every day?

Here are a few of MY favorite varieties of Biscotti:
Cranberry Orange Biscotti: orange zest with Craisins combine to make this crunchy variety. Topped with white chocolate and sugared orange zest. Great combination!
Snickerdoodle Biscotti: cinnamon and sugar are sometimes so simple but powerful flavors!
Pumpkin Spiced Biscotti: delicious any time of year. TRUST me! Pumpkin, ginger, cloves, allspice…it’s like pie in a cookie.
Turtle Biscotti: Yes, seriously, you can now have turtles for breakfast and it’s OK. Caramel, chocolate and pecans. For Breakfast.
Stop on over to my Pinterest Board: Breakfast Table Goodies for more ideas!!

For some reason I can’t see your biscotti
and now I’m sad because I love biscotti AND I love your recipes. Pout. Any idea why I’d be having trouble?
I’m sure they are delicious! I actually just tried out your strawberry swirl fudge and it’s waiting for me to eat it all as soon as I get out of work!
Jess @ On Sugar Mountain recently posted..Whole Lemon Bars
I’m not sure why you can’t see them! Like the photos aren’t showing up? Are you on a mobile device? Hmmm, I need to investigate this Jess!
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Caramel Macchiato Biscotti
AGH so sorry do not investigate further it was totally my fault. Well, really, it was FireFox’s fault >_< I switched to Internet Explorer and I can see them just fine
And they are gorgeous!

Caramel Macchiato is one of my favorite specialty coffee drinks. And now in a biscotti? That sounds fantastic!
Regina @ SpecialtyCakeCreations recently posted..White Chocolate Macadamia Cake

biscotti is not usually my thing but oh man… i can get on board with this Aimee. I love caramel so much, I couldn’t pass one of these up! And caramel macchiatos are just the best. I get them every few weeks when I stop at Starbucks!!

These look amazing! I love biscotti. There are so many flavor possibilities. I am especially excited to find a biscotti recipe with tons of flavor that doesn’t use nuts. Thank you!
Wendy recently posted..Barista Brownie Cookies
Nope. No nuts needed in this recipe. ENJOY!
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Caramel Macchiato Biscotti
What kind of espresso powder do you use? The reason I never make coffee-flavored treats is because I can never remember to buy the instant stuff!
I use King Arthur Flour brand espresso powder. I LOVE IT. Worth paying shipping for
Oh, and if you do buy it, be sure to get their chocolate jimmies too…so small and spectacular. Oh, and they have a great dark chocolate cocoa powder which is phenomenal. Yeah. I love KAF

I’m so with you on biscotti – maybe it has something to do with the whole my entire family is Italian and we had it all the time when we were growing up! But this version! Holy moly I’m in love. I would have never thought to make a flavor like this… I totally need to give this a try!
Ashley recently posted..Cookies and Cream Dip

Just delicious.
