I can handle Italian desserts. Here is my favorite.

----

BISCOTTI

1/4 lb butter >br>4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp anise seed
3 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour

Melt the butter in a bowl. Add 3 eggs and the vanilla extract, stirring rapidly. Add the sugar and stir. Add the anise seed, baking powder and flour, stirring all the while. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Take the dough and split it in half, putting each half on a cookie sheet. Spread each to the length of the sheet. Take the yolk of one egg, add water, and spread the glaze on the top of each half. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Remove, let cool and cut in a sawing motion using a serrated knife. The slices should be 5/8 inch thick. Put back on the cookie sheets, and bake in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.

ooohhh I love biscotti.

Not only dessert, but they are simply yummy, dipped in coffee, for breakfast!

My daughter made some a couple of weeks ago with white chocolate topping and some dried cranberries. They were good, but I prefer the plain ones. Yum.
