Hi Mary Ann,
Can biscotti dough be frozen? I usually make your Chocolate Walnut Biscotti at Christmas time and have added more to my plate this year now that I have graduated from Escoffier and need to prep as much ahead of time as I can. I would like to do my doughs in November; the party is December 6th.
Thank-you,
Kimberly
