Italian Lemon Biscotti, a Twice Baked Cappuccino Accompaniment or "Anytime" Dessert

These delightful twice-baked cookies are thought to have originated in Prato, a Tuscan city on the Italian peninsula. The word biscotto (singular form of biscotti) originates from the Latin word "bis", meaning twice and "coctum" or baked (which later became "cotto", or cooked). The Roman Legions used them probably because they could be stored for long periods of time without degrading, thus were ideal ad "army food"
