I was so disappointed with this recipe. It was loose and greasy and had nowhere near enough flour. It was like trying to roll out peanut butter and cut it into shapes and transfer to a cookie sheet. And that was after refrigerating for a few hours. I didn't get to try the icing, which sounded like the highlight of the cookie, but I would say, if you want to try the icing, make a different sugar cookie recipe first. This one just does not work.

The dough was way too liquidy to make into a loaf - and it spread out so much in the oven. Once I tried to cut it into slices, it just came apart. And though I cooked them almost twice as long as the recipe called for, it never got harder than cakelike - definitely not crispy like biscotti should be.
