Mini Lemon Cranberry Biscotti

Gluten Free /Grain Free/ Easily Vegan

Biscotti and coffee are the perfect marriage! Ok, well the Prince says Biscotti is delicious on it's own and coffee isn't needed. I disagree. Whoever is correct, we had to stop noshing on Biscotti a couple here's back due to our gluten allergy, but then enter the Mini Lemon Cranberry Biscotti!

This is a recipe that includes some labor-of-love, but just think: it is home made, freshly baked and is so worth it when dipping into a delicious cup of joe! Speaking of, I haven't had my coffee yet, let me post this so I can run downstairs and grab a cup!
