I didn't know people made biscotti! I thought you bought it at the store. This is just wonderful! I added more orange zest because I like the flavor and I used Hershey's Dark Chocolate Chips for the glaze because I like dark chocolate more than anything. I didn't find it to be too much trouble to glaze the biscotti. The only problem was, I ate most of them while glazing them. Next time, I'll definitely double the recipe. Too easy and too good!

Ohhhhhhh, these are good. We made these tonight with the intention of giving them as little holidays gifts to teachers and friends. I don't think they're going to last that long! The only change we made was instead of semi-sweet choc chips, we used orange-flavored milk chocolate purchased from Whole Foods bulk. I think this really enhanced the other orange ingredients. I feel another batch of these coming on....

the flavor of these cookies are fantastic! however mine turned out way too soft but i think that might have something to do with the butter substitute i used.

This was my first time making biscotti, and it was much easier than I thought it would be. I left out the orange zest and drizzled the chocolate on top instead of spreading it on the bottom. My husband loved these! I'm looking forward to making these for gifts.

I've made this several times now - always doubling the recipe - and it is a winner! Great with or without the chocolate chips. I usually dip them in white chocolate but they are also great plain. I made a bunch last Christmas and packaged them in air-tight jars. With a little holiday ribbon they make a great hostess gift or to have on hand when you need an extra little gift. Thanks Thea for taking the time to post the recipe.

Wonderful! I always leave out the orange zest though and I do not use as much flour as the recipe calls for (the dough got too dry on my first attempt). I dip one of the long flat sides in chocolate and then sprinkle the wet chocolate with almond bits (or you can use white choclate drizzled over the dark chocolate) for a pretty affect.

This is a very good biscotti recipe. I left out the orange peel and increased the almond extract to 1 tsp. I only used half the amount of chocolate topping and there was still a little left over.

I've made this recipe a couple of times now, and every time I change it a little, sometimes adding more orange zest, almods, etc. And every time I great great reviews from friends and family! This is definitely one of the best biscotti recipes out there. It may take a while to make on your first go, but like any recipe, you'll speed up the process when you get to know it better!

I wanted just a basic recipe for biscotti, so used this and eliminated the flavours (almond extract, orange zest, nutmeg, chocolate chips) and increased the vanilla to make up for the missing almond extract. I then took the chocolate chips and melted them and dipped half of the twice-baked biscotti in the chips. It was good. THIS RECIPE DOES NOT MAKE VERY MANY COOKIES. I doubled it and it still wasn't much. Next time, I'd probably triple it.

This was a great recipe and easy to make!! I didn't use the orange zest because I didn't have any. I also omitted the chocolate chips because I dipped one end in choclate and then rolled in almonds, pecans, walnuts, or toffee chips.

many have told me they love my biscotti for a long time.i think they were just afraid to try to make it themselves! my recipe was an "old italian" one from a dear friend's mom. however, i decided to try this one because it seemed easier. oh my goodness! it's not only the easiest recipe i've used, but it's great tasting, looks beautiful, and can be adapted to include a variety of different flavors. i made the recipe four times in a row one evening, because i didn't want to multiply the ingredients and perhaps change the perfect consistency. it was perfect each time and actually became easier. thanks for sharing this one.

I tried 3 different biscotti recipes from this site, and Biscotti Toscani made the best base for a variety of flavors. I made the recipe as is, and also left out the orange peel and made a batch of coconut cranberry, and another batch of cinnamon walnut. I've made biscotti for many years, and this biscotti recipe cuts more smoothly (without breaking or crumbling) before the 2nd baking.

I've made a *lot* of biscotti over the years, and I'd say these are just average tasting. I would have liked the dough to be a bit sweeter. I did, however, appreciate how easy the dough is to work with. It wasn't sticky at all.

The flavors are beautiful! It was my own fault though that they crumbled when slicing - I baked for the 25min but that wasn't long enough (maybe oven's temp is off?) since they were still soft and kinda fell apart. So on the 2nd baking, I just gave each "side" 10min each. I gave up spreading the chocolate on the sides since crumbs kept getting in the way of a smooth veneer, so I drizzled the chocolate w/ a spoon & fork --> chilled. Even w/o the chocolate they were yummy. FYI: I used all the ingredients exactly.

These were so tasty but a bit of work to make. They were well worth the trouble. I made these last year for the holiday season and plan to again this year.
