Following others recommendations, I cut the butter down to 1/2 c. then added 1/3 c. mini choc. chips and cut the hazelnuts down to 3/4 c. After they were all done I dipped the bottoms in melted choc. chips with a little crisco mixed in. These were wonderful! And YES! My house smelled good all day! So easy- my first try at making biscotti.

This is a great recipe!! I followed the recipe word for word, and the biscotti's turned out wonderfully! I like chocolate on my biscotti, so I did add a drizzle of it as a finishing touch, but they did not need the chocolate, i just enjoy it! I will defiantly make this recipe again! Thank you!

Incredible! These were very very easy to make and everyone who tried them loved them! Multiple people told me they were they best biscotti's they'd ever had. I used almonds instead of hazelnuts and I added a little extra vanilla. Also, try sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar before baking. Yum!

I love the way these biscotti crisp up yet remain crumbly in the middle. This is a great and fast recipe. I make it often.

This was the first time I made biscotti, and they turned out great. I love hazelnuts, but in this recipe, 1 cup is a lot of nuts. I thought they were a bit overwhelming. Next time I will put in only 1/2 to 3/4 cup at the most. The recipe didn't specify, so I chopped the hazelnuts. I also added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. For me, this made them perfect.

These were so good; I made them for the holidays and am still taking them out of the freezer occasionally to dip in coffee. The hardest part was having to crack all of the hazelnuts; I couldn't find them anywhere that were out of the shell. This will not stop me from making again, which will be very soon as my supply in the freezer is almost gone!

The skin of the hazelnut is quite bitter. To remove it easily, in a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 cup of hazelnuts and boil nuts for about 3 minutes. Test a nut under cool running water. If the skin doesn't slip off easily, boil nuts another minute or two. After peeling, nuts should be crisped and lightly browned in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

So wonderful that I want to go eat another one while I write this! I didn't have vanilla extract or hazelnuts on hand, so this is what I did instead: I used 1 teaspoon of Almond extract (I added less just in case it would be too overwhelming to add a full 1 1/2 tsp.) and I used 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg (to make up for the lack of nuts). This came out so sweet, so tasty...once I figure out how to cut them so that they don't all fall to pieces on me, I could make them to give as gifts! YUM!!!

This was the first time I ever attempted biscotti, but they are so easy to make, and turn out perfect every time; I've made several batches in the past month! I use 2 tsp of cinnamon, and use pecans instead of hazelnuts, and they are awesome.

Is most excellent. I used a bit of extra butter, an oven older than me, and used cranberries instead of hazelnuts since thats what I had in the pantry. Overall, excellent. The suggestion of doubling the cinnamon and using Almond and Vanilla Extracts was perfect! I dipped some in white chocolate cine it seemed to match well. Perfect and easy! I would only complain about a bit of crumble when cutting them, but hey, it's biscotti! (And heck, I hated coffee schop bisctotti, this was excellent!)

Excellent. I have made these for gifts and now think it was a mistake. Everyone wants more! The butter recipe beats out the oil recipe, by a long shot. However it is a bit more naughty on the heart healthy diet.
