Have you ever eaten cookies right out of the freezer? I can’t explain why they taste so good, they just do. My favorite cookie straight out of the freezer is biscotti, amaretto biscotti to be precise. Although, any cookie will do.
Make two rectangles after you have split the dough in two. Depending how wide you make your rectangles will determine how wide your finished cookie will be. Remember you will be cutting these cookies on an angle.
Place the amaretto biscotti cut side down and place back in the oven to crisp up the cookies a little bit more.
Don’t forget to stick some in the freezer.

Totally agree about the frozen thing. Mom always used to put baked goodies in the freezer so that we wouldn’t get at them… little did she know that we’d develop a taste for frozen cookies!
