I'm not a huge biscotti fan, but my mom is and I made these for her. She loved them. These are a nice holiday treat too! Thank you for posting! -
Left out vanilla, anise (I hate Anise) lemon and orange. used 2 tablespoons almond extract. Made a second batch using 3 tablespoons of Kaluha instead of the almond, add flour to get the right texture. Great biscotti! -
I tried this recipe and it was fantastic. I need to make more because everyone raved about them and I could not keep enough in the serving dish. I need to make more. Thanks. -
These are delicious and very easy to make. I got about 59 cookies, not counting the "ends" of the rolls which I ate! I think next time I'd make 2 rolls instead of 3 so the cookies would be bigger. I've made biscotti only once before so maybe I should have made the rolls shorter and fatter. Takes about 15-20 minutes to brown. I love biscotti and they are expensive to buy. I will save this recipe and make them again!
