Disappointed to say the least. I made this to the "T" and it was burnt tasting. I even shortend the 2nd baking time. The only thing that made it passable was that I had to dunk it in my coffee, I know its a coffee cookie, but I like "to go" breakfast cookies, and this I will most def pass on--sorry!

Strangely I had the opposite problem of most of the reviewers .... not enough liquid! I added about a tablespoon of butter, and that seemed to help smooth it out some. Overall, I thought the recipe was fine. A little salty, but otherwise no major complaints. Just sort of a standard recipe.

The dough was not at all doughy, more sticky and pasty, very difficult to work with! Trying to roll it out was a losing proposition! I ended up just blobbing it on the cookie sheet and using a rubber spatula sprayed with Pam to put it into some kind of loaf-like shape. That having been said, it made some super-tasty biscotti! Worth making if you can handle the ooey gooey mess!

I made one batch using a mixer and it required about 1/2 cup more flour. Then I mixed one by hand, and 1 cup of flour was enough. I think that might explain why some people think the recipe is perfect and others have problems. One batch with cranberries and white chocolate, one batch as written: the perfect gift for my mother-in-law. Thanks!

As I put this together, I could see there was definitly something wrong with the quantity of flour. There is no way this will produce a smooth ball of dough as written. More flour is definitly needed.

Perfect combo of flavors! One of my personal favorites. (warning if you are going to add the rind of one whole orange bake for longer)

Good stuff. I added 1/2 cup more flour,ommitted the orange extract, and instead added some vanilla and almond extract. I added kahlua, a Tablespoon of heavy cream, and a Tablespoon of instant coffee mix to the chocolate while it melted over the double broiler. Super easy recipe and GOOD!!!

I baked these and they came out looking kind of funky and tasting kind of okay. I probably won't be making them again.

I was so excited to make this and was VERY disappointed at the outcome! I have made many kinds of biscotti before and never have any come out bad until these. First of all, only 10 were made from the little amount of dough. Second, they were like rocks and had hardly any flavor after I spent so much time baking them. I threw them out I was so frustrated and no one wanted to eat them.

Quantities are too small, and I realized I was to get just a handful of biscotti after I started! I suggest doubling quantities (at least!).

These were good but I didn't like the chocolate on them. Next time I'm going to take the advice of others and add vanilla and omit the chocolate.

Thanks for this great recipe. We like it best plain with just almonds and 1 tsp vanilla. The other change I made to the recipe is 1/2 tsp baking powder and no baking soda and it has a way better flavour. I also cut it thinner, about 1/2 inch slices on the diagonal. It lasts really well - I've even mailed it to my son in Serbia. He calls it "Mum's world famous biscotti."

This recipe would have gotten a much higher rating from me if it was accurate. It is clear, however, from the amount of flour, that it is not. One cup is barely enough to turn the one and a half eggs into a batter, much less a dough. I actually believe that this must be a typo, and that you need to use 2 cups. After adding an extra cup of flour, this recipe became a kneadable dough, and came out exactly as I would expect biscotti to come out, as a firm, dense cookie, and not-too-sweet taste. If I could, I'd mark four stars for taste, one star for inaccuracy.

This recipe worked out great for me. Using previous reviews, I added 1/8 tsp baking powder, 1/8 c. sugar, & 1/2 c. flour for one recipe. I will make this again.

This didn't work for me at all, and I've made several other biscotti recipes with success. The dough was very wet and I had to add quite a bit of flour to even be able to touch it and roll it out. It didn't rise in the oven and are the skinniest biscotti I've ever seen. Taste is good but needs more orange. A disappointment.

These are so fragrant and delicious! They have become my most popular hostess gift/tea party contribution. A perfect match for a steaming cup of Original Good Earth tea on a chilly afternoon. I have added the zest of one lemon in place of some of the orange zest to give the flavor a little twist. A nice variation.

This recipe did not turn out at all for me. I make biscotti often and it is great, these turned out so hard you could not even bite them (not even after a very long dip in coffee). I will not be making again.

delicious biscotti! after reading all the reviews, i modified the recipe slightly. i added ~1/2 C more flour, a little more sugar and baking powder, 1 t orange extract, and 2 T oil. it was so easy to make- i can't wait to make it again! next time though, i'd make them a little smaller, so we get more cookies.
