  1. Excellent recipe! I used orange juice instead of the butter (because I like my biscotti crispy and light) and I loved it .. thank you!
     
  2. Excellent cookie. I did need to add the juice from the orange to get the dough to come together. I think the time needed for the second round of baking will vary based on how large thick the cookies are and how moist the dough is. Mine took an extra 10 min.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
