Life is full of decisions and choices. When it comes to a sweet treat, I often have trouble making up my mind. When there are so many delicious choices out there, how am I supposed to choose just one?  This recipe is the answer to my “I can’t choose just one” problem!  Why choose one, when you can choose three?!! This Easy Three in One Biscotti recipe gives you three delicious cookies in one shot!

These three varieties of biscotti cookies all start with the same dough.  You divide the dough into three parts and add different ingredients.  Voila!  You have three cookies in one recipe!

One cookie is a crunchy biscotti cookie with chocolate and cinnamon!  What a perfect flavor duo they make.

The second biscotti cookie is flavored with orange rinds and almonds. I love the citrus combined with the crunch of the almonds!

The third biscotti cookie is full of coffee flavors and hazelnuts! Wouldn’t this be delicious with your morning cup of coffee?

I hope this recipe helps you solve the “I can’t choose just one” problem too. I can definitely get on board with this recipe that allows me to have three delicious options all at once. Why choose?  I say try all three varieties!
