About Biscotti
Biscotti was bred by the Cookies team, crossing Gelato #25 with an undisclosed male. The strain quickly became a cornerstone of Cookies' modern genetics program due to its excellent breeding potential and distinctive terpene profile. Biscotti has a complex aroma — sweet dough, gas, citrus, and earthy notes that combine into a cookie-like richness. The buds are dense and trichome-heavy with a light green appearance. Effects are balanced and potent: cerebral euphoria with physical relaxation. Biscotti's true impact came through its progeny — it was used as a parent for Permanent Marker (with Jealousy), creating one of the most important strains of the decade.

The Story & Lineage Origin
Biscotti was released by Cookies around 2020 and became the foundation of their modern breeding program. Its true significance was realized when Seed Junky Genetics used a Biscotti cut to cross with Jealousy, creating Permanent Marker — the Leafly Strain of the Year 2023.
Biscotti itself is a solid commercial strain, but its role as the parent of Permanent Marker cemented its place in cannabis genetics history. The strain remains a core part of the Cookies lineup.
