biscotti means cookies in Italian

How do you say cookies in Italian?

Biscotti!



One cookie is a biscotto.  Two or more cookies are biscotti.  What is better than a single cookie, or biscotto?  Two cookies, two biscotti, of course!

The cookies are really good.
I biscotti sono buonissimi.

Extra credit, make pronunciation fun:

Biscotti starts out sounding like "bees"
The second third of the word gets the emphasis and sounds like "COAT"
The last third of the word sounds like "tea"
Make sure to take your time pronouncing both t's, both the T of "COAT" and the t of "tea"
bees-COAT-tea
