Cantucci, also known as biscotti di Prato, are traditional almond biscuits that originated in the city of Prato, near Florence. These crunchy and twice-baked cookies are made with a combination of almonds, flour, sugar, eggs, and a hint of vanilla. The dough is shaped into long logs, baked until golden brown, and then sliced into individual cookies. Cantucci are typically enjoyed by dipping them into a glass of Vin Santo, a sweet dessert wine from Tuscany. The combination of the crunchy biscotti and the sweet wine is a match made in heaven.
