You can have a taste of Birthday Cake in this very simple recipe for Birthday Cake Biscotti. Make this biscotti recipe festive with beautiful sprinkles.
What is about sprinkles that just makes you happy? Am I the only one who feels this way? They are colorful and you just can’t help but smile when you see them. Especially on cakes or cupcakes. But why not biscotti? I love Biscotti. They are one of my favorite cookie treats to eat for breakfast. In fact, biscotti is the perfect treat to have an excuse to have cookies for breakfast!
I know a lot of people doesn’t understand biscotti and I get it. It’s hard, its long (that’s what she said :-)), and you don’t really see them that often. I know some people who consider biscotti to be fancy. That couldn’t be far from the truth. Biscotti is one of the most frugal and inexpensive treats anyone could make. You can make biscotti using just about any flavor profile. In fact, on my blog, I have a Caramel Biscotti Biscotti recipe and a Chocolate and Almond Biscotti recipe that you can take a look at. Both of these recipes have common and affordable ingredients and are downright delicious.
Making this biscotti is quite simple. You simply mix your dry ingredients together like your flour, salt, baking powder, or whatever and set it aside. What makes this Birthday Cake Biscotti so amazing is the butter. You cream that butter and add the sugar and eggs and start to add the dry ingredients together. Of course, the most important ingredient, add the SPRINKLES!
