Ah! This is the biscotti I was hoping for. I recently purchased some rather expensive, very thin biscotti with fruit & nuts & loved them. After reading lots of reviews for this recipe, I made it, slicing one loaf into very thin slices before the second baking. They're better than the store-bought. Easy to make, no exotic ingredients--these are going to be a frequent event at our house!

I've made biscotti using other recipes before and this one is the keeper. The dough is stickier than other recipes I've used in the past, but perhaps that is why (although the cookies are hard, as they should be) no one will break a tooth on the finished product :) The only modification I made was to use 1 tsp each of vanilla and almond extracts. Thanks!

This is by far the best recipe I have ever made. The very first time I ever made biscotti I used this recipe and it turned out great. It's also good as a base for alterations. I've made marble biscotti out of this by splitting the dough in half, mixing in melted chocolate into one half, then rolled them into thick tubes which I twisted around each other and baked as normal. Cut on a diagonal (opposite the twist) and they turn out great!

these are great. I didn't use the chocolate (since I was also making some choc/pecan biscotti), so I increased sugar to 1 cup. Excellent!

Excellent! We loved it. We didn't melt the chocolate though-we were too excited to eat them and they were fantastic without the melted chocolate at all. Thanks for sharing!

These were wonderful! The orange zest lifted the flavor to another level. I will definately be making them again, they were a bit of work, but it was worth it and they keep for a really long time.

I have never cared for Biscotti but after my girlfriend saw it made on TV and said she had never even heard of it I decided to make her some. This recipe was fantastic, not only was it easy to do, it tasted great! The only changes I made was to add a dash of cinnamon, a lot more almond extract and sliced almonds and no chocolate. I made these cookies for my 9 year old daughters Girl Scout troop and drizzled with chocolate and they loved them too. Who knew kids would like what I consider such a grownup cookie :) Strongly recommend as a jumping base for any biscotti, will make again.

Quick & easy in my Kitchenaid mixer. Mixed in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips instead of spreading with chocolate. Forgot to toast almonds and next time I'll add a few more minutes to second bake - some dried cherries might be nice too.

I loved this biscotti!! The aroma of the batter alone indicated to me that it would be wonderful, and sure enough it was! I added in walnuts instead of almonds, and also added in some cinnamon, white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips (instead of melting and dipping like the recipe indicated). The texture is wonderful as well! Thank you Thea for this recipe!

I thought these were very tasty eventhough I had no nutmeg and didn't use the chocolate coating. The orange zest added a nice touch. I also like my biscotti rather hard, so I baked them a bit longer than the recipe called for.

I thought these were very good. I put the half cup of chocolate chip in the batter instead of melting it and putting on the outside. I will make again, maybe try it without the orange zest.

We loved this recipe. I left out the nuts due to an allergy and put mini chocolate chips in the batter. Delicious! My mother-in-law took most of them home with her.

These came out great! I didn't have any orange zest and put in a little triple sec instead. They had good texture, nice mild flavor: perfect for dipping into coffee. I'll try with orange zest next time. Maybe it'll be a 5 star then. Thanks.

What a change-friendly recipe! I used this recipe on my first shot at making biscotti. I had to leave out almonds due to an allergy, I used anise flavoring instead of the orange zest b/c I did not have any on hand - the anise is my favorite hint of flavor in biscotti so it seemed right. Also I used half whole wheat flour and half AP white flour and THAT really worked too. I normally to change a recipe so much before trying the original but this is just so forgiving. Oh, the most important part is - EVERYONE loved it. My sunday school class, my mother, my 3yr old daughter, ... I had *Nonni's* biscotti there to (to fall back on just in case mine was terrible) but everyone went for mine first. I love that! Thank you so much, the recipe is delish! I won't look any further but I will continue to experiment with yours!

I was skeptical that I would find a biscotti recipe that came close to the store bought ones we like, but these are really good and used ingredients we already have at home. I added an extra tsp of orange zest. Thanks for a great recipe that I will make over and over!

Great recipe. Did it twice; first time around, biscotti were somewhat too dry, so I decreased oven time to 8 min. (got a tricky oven!) and added more zest along with 1 teaspoon of orange liqueur. A real hit!
