These crunchy cookies are perfectly dunkable—whether it's coffee, tea, or even cocoa. They store well so feel free to bake up an extra batch or two.

Our first recipe is Deep Dark Chocolate Biscotti.

Sneak in some good stuff with these coffee-dunking biscotti. Your little secret: whole-wheat flour, flaxseed, dark chocolate chips, and almonds add fiber and antioxidants without sacrificing one ounce of pleasure.

This biscotti recipe makes for a festive accessory to a cup of after-dinner coffee. It also makes a wonderful holiday gift! Be sure to let the cookie logs cool after the first bake so they slice cleanly and don't crumble.

Biscotti is a wonderful everyday treat, but the addition of licorice-flavored anise plus a dip in dark chocolate turns them into something special. This is a great make-ahead recipe (freeze for up to a month, then dip in chocolate after thawing). Plus, biscotti is a hardy cookie that travels well in the mail, if you wish to ship them as a gift.

Standing the cookies eliminates the traditional step of flipping them halfway through baking. Chocolate lovers can stir 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips into the batter or dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate.

Our Test Kitchens staffers found that using a serrated knife works best for cutting the rolls after the first bake time. If you're a fan of dried cranberries, they make a great substitute for dried cherries.

For a variation on this crisp Italian cookie recipe, substitute orange for lemon and semisweet chocolate chips for chopped white chocolate. Take time to chop a white chocolate candy bar for this recipe; white chocolate morsels contain no cocoa butter.
