The pistachios add a lovely flavor as well as a soft green accent to these traditional Italian cookies. Marsala, a sweet dessert wine, adds a subtle warm taste to the dough but apple cider or orange juice may be substituted, if preferred. Chopped dried apricots or currants may be used in place of the raisins; this is a great recipe to modify, making your own signature biscotti. Designed to keep better than most cookies, packaged in cellophane bags and tied with ribbon, biscotti make great gifts or party favors.
