Almond Flour Biscotti with Pistachios and Dried Figs

These Almond Flour Biscotti with Pistachios and Dried Figs are delicious, with the added benefit of being gluten free and a good source of protein and a double hit of almond. Almond flour adds additional depth to these cookies, while the almond extract adds a lovely bitterness. Chopped pecans add some crunch, while dried figs adds a slight sweetness that perfectly compliments the rest of the flavours in this crispy cookie.
