Here's a basic biscotti recipe that can be used to make different shaped cookies as seen in this photo.
Biscotti di Meliga

150 grams white baking flour
125 grams of butter
60 grams sugar
60 grams corn flour
33 grams egg yoke
20 grams egg white
2 grams baking powder

In mixer add butter, sugar and baking powder, mix well.

Then add eggs to mixer.

In a separate bowl mix flours together, then add combined flours to mixing bowl, mix no more than 90 seconds at a slow setting.

Cover and refridgerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out dough, cut into desired shapes, place on baking sheet covered with baking paper and bake at 170 degrees Centigrade until golden.

Tip of the day: use unsalted butter with low water content, 82% fat content.
