When I was thinking about what kind of cookie to make for the upcoming holiday season, I knew I needed to find one that fit my quick and easy requirements! These Soft Biscotti Christmas Knots are perfect! They look much more complicated than they really are!
They really aren't just for Christmas! By changing the color of the nonpareils, they can be served anytime of the year!
The recipe for the cookies can be found below.
I have also included a recipe for Confectioner's Sugar Icing
Confectioner's Sugar Icing
an icing similar to a glaze for use on cookies, cakes & pastry
Prep Time 5 min icing and decorating the cookies 15 mins
Total Time 20 mins
Servings 2 cups of icing
Equipment
- measuring cup
- measuring spoon
- spatula
Ingredients 1x2x3x
- 2 cups confectioner's or powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Christmas colored nonpareils can use different colors depending on the season
Instructions
- Mix the confectioner's sugar and milk together

dip the cooled cookies in the icing or use a spatula to ice the cookies.
top with sprinkles and allow the icing to dry completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
A word of caution: some nonpareils may "run" after the cookies are made. If you are unsure, it is best to make these cookies the day you will serve them. The brand of nonpareils I used did not run. I used Mistletoe Magic Sprinkles that I found on Amazon.

Not sure why these are called biscotti because they definitely are not any type of biscotti. Not even ‘soft’ biscotti. Biscotti literally means twice baked bread. It’s supposed to be crunchy and is always oblong/rectangular. Although these sound good, I would certainly rename them.
