Have you tried using cinnamon chips in baking? We love them! That’s what inspired this delicious biscotti flavor. Chewy raisins, cinnamon chips, and walnuts are in every bite of this Italian cookie, but unlike traditional biscotti, this one is soft instead of crunchy. Don’t worry though, it’s still amazing with coffee!
Normally to shape this cookie you would press it into a biscotti mold or try your best on a sheet pan to get a uniform rectangle. Wanting an easier and cleaner way to do this without spending money on custom cookie molds, I decided a cake pan might just do the trick! Indeed it does! This no fuss method just has you press the dough into a cake pan, giving you a uniform block of biscotti for when you cut the individual cookies. It also helps with uniform baking so you don’t get burned edges while the center is still cooking.
