Biscotti's with Goji Berries & Walnuts & Chocolate Chips

One of my friends got me a box of raisin & chocolate chips biscotti's and I noticed that my daughter was religiously eating 2 every morning with a glass of milk. I knew once these were over I had to bake her a new batch and incorporate some healthier  ingredients :)  So I started surfing the net and came across Kate's recipe for pistachio cranberry biscotti's made with olive oil, it had already been rated and had super reviews.  I knew this was the one for my daughter .I just finished baking a batch of 2 dozen biscotti's and have my daughter raving about how good these are :) Mission accomplished !!!

I baked these with Goji Berries,walnuts & pistachio's . On very popular demand I also added chocolate chips ;) These turned out crispy soft  on the inside with a perfect crunchy crust and the nuts and berries add that extra nutty goodness. I am happy that my daughter now gets her share of the magic Goji Berries -The latest wonder/magic food packed with the most essential anti oxidants. Here goes the recipe :
