I love a nice biscotti cookie with a cup of tea or coffee either for breakfast or for an afternoon snack. They are even better if they are of a lighter variety. These biscotti cookies are made with no butter or oil and just eggs as a binder.

These cookies are delicious using blueberries but would also be just a delicious with raspberries, blackberries or currants. These are so good and would make a nice housewarming gift as well paired with your favorite box of tea.
