For my final studio project, I'm designing a food television production studio on the Case Western Reserve University campus. My 3-week programming phase of the project involved so much research on food, that I kind of felt obligated to bring a little portion of the discipline to my studio. I decided to bake one of my favorite sweets, island cookies. The smooth white chocolate, warm pecan flavor and hints of coconut make for a perfect summertime treat!
It's freezing outside! So cold that my car wouldn't start and I had to work from home today. Since I got started a half hour early, I finished a little early too, with just enough time to bake a batch of delicious white chocolate cranberry biscotti before dinner. I know what you're thinking...isn't biscotti that stale, wannabe cookie that you have to dip in coffee in order to chew? Typically, yes. But I promise my biscotti is soft, flavorful, and does not require a warm beverage for consumption (but I'm not saying that a vanilla latte or a big cup of coffee wouldn't make the experience even more enjoyable). This is the perfect treat for curling up on the couch on a cold winter day!
