My brother and I made 3 biscotti recipes from this site for a mother's day gift this year. They all turned out great. I followed previous suggestions and used 2 whole eggs, however we still found the dough to be a bit dry so we added some water until we could work with it. We formed two thick logs, approx. 9 inches in length each and then patted them down so that they were under an inch thick. After the first bake we sliced the logs on an angle into 1 inch thick pieces, which yielded about 10 pieces of biscotti. We did have to add some baking time to our batch due to the thickness of our biscotti pieces. We substituted Splenda for the sugar that went into the dough and used regular sugar for the cinnamon sugar topping. The consistency was more like a cookie, rather than the hard/crisp store-bought biscotti that I am used to. This was our first time making this italian delight, but it was still a great result nonetheless. Mutti enjoyed her gift.
