By now you all know how much I love rainy days. They’re so calming, so quiet; they seem to force your body into a cocoon. Everything seems smooth around the edges, sultry and muted and deep.
So on this rainy day, I’m so happy to be sitting here in my pajamas, sipping hot Chai and nibbling on this biscotti. I’m pondering my newfound freedom…I’ve just resigned from my afternoon job at the boutique. I’m looking forward to spending my afternoons crafting or strolling around the neighborhood or sitting here in my pajamas, sipping Chai and nibbling on biscotti.

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup almond toffee bits
2 teaspoons baking powder

3 large eggs

Combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, toffee bits, and baking powder in a large bowl. Combine canola oil, vanilla, and eggs; add to flour mixture, stirring until well blended (dough will be dry and crumbly).
