The etymology of the Italian word “biscotto” is from biscoctus therefore means “cooked twice.”
The Romans made extensive use of it because it was a bread that, deprived of moisture, lasted for many days. It was a non-sugary bread.
Only after the Middle Ages pastry chefs developed recipes that used honey and even more recently sugar.
The biscuit is the most popular food for breakfast or snack and the nightmare of those on a diet.
This list of recipes is mainly of Roman and family tradition with some Italic digression.
I love cookies; I love them to make and above all to eat them.
