The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.54 star rating.
Reviewed: Mar. 31, 2008
I followed other reviewers recommendation of using two whole eggs and the recipe turned out perfectly. Although, I made one log instead of two -I don't really see how this recipe would have made two logs unless the biscotti were tiny. The dough was sticky, but I was fine just wetting my hands. I had no problem cutting the biscotti - I think it probably has to do with using the right knife. Overall, this recipe is wonderful and I would make it again tomorrow!

Very tasty! I omitted the final sprinking with sugar and cinnamon. I also substituted vanilla extract for a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Worked just fine. Great with your morning coffee!

This is a recipe for perfect Biscotti. I used baking soda instead of powder, and two whole eggs - just mixed it all together - didnt use the beaten egg - didnt cut them, and sprayed tops with pam, and then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before the second bake. Yummy.

These biscotti were pretty good but i think they were missing a little something, everyone else that tried them loved them. I would make these again but next time i think i'll add chopped pecans or walnuts and maybe a little vanilla.

Made these this weekend with 'help' from my young son...and they are really, really good. Normally the boyfriend won't eat any baked goods that are not fresh out of the oven, but he said they were good the next day too! Will make again. I shaped them into logs only about 1 1/2 inches wide, then baked, then cut them into little squares to make 'bites' and then rebaked. Just the right amount of cinnamon.

These were fantastic. Super easy to make and they taste way too good. The only change I made was to only use the leftover egg white to brush on the logs.

Just wonderful! Followed the recipe exactly..no problem with crumbling- they cut very easily after 5 minutes of cooling on a wire rack. Nice base recipe to add to..thanks!

This turned out great and was very easy to make. I substituted Spenda for suger, almond extact for vanilla and added slivered almonds. Very good. I will continue to use this recipe as a 'base' for other variations.

I am going to be making biscotti gift baskets so I have been trying out different recipes. So far, these are THE BEST! I used 2 whole eggs and actually found the dough to be a bit sticky, so I worked in a little more flour as I made the logs. I forgot the egg wash ( oops) so the tops looked "blah" after the first bake. For a quick fix ( a cinnamon glaze would have also done the trick) I brushed on some milk then sprinkled cinnamon-sugar over the top before slicing the logs into individual pieces. I still added cinn-sugar to the cut sides as per the recipe and it was not too much.

GOOD STUFF! I made this for Christmas cookies along with homemade cocoa mix and it was a great recipe. The only tiny thing I would do different next time is bake it a little less during the second bake time or add a little milk or something. I think it's because we live in a really dry climate and it turned out a tiny bit too dry and crunchy. Otherwise, perfect recipe!

I was very nervous about making this when I first put the dough on the cookie sheet, but to my surprise they came out wonderful! For some reason the biscottis were tiny, but they tasted very good and everyone loved them. I would only recommend doubling the recipe and I dunked them in chocolate for a richer flavor. Very good!!

This is my first attempt at biscotti and it turned out wonderfully! I only let mine cool for about 10 minutes and had no problems cutting it. I did use a very sharp serrated knife and went very slowly. I didn't sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on at the end, but drizzled melted chocolate chips on the cookies instead. I'm going to serve these at an Italian themed dinner party this weekend. What a great recipe!

A different taste for biscotti. Dough was OK to work with. The egg wash really did not add too much.

I reviewed this recipe awhile ago (I loved it then, and still do!)and wanted to post that after making it many times, I have figured out the secret to making the dough not so crumbly! If you follow the recipe exactly, make sure that you cream the butter and the sugar together mix and then mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a seperate bowl as directed. When you add the flour mixture to the sugar, butter and eggs, don't add more than 1/4 cup at a time and blend it in well. It will still be a dry dough (it's supposed to be) but it won't be as crumbly and hard to work with. You can easily knead it on the table and form it into logs this way without it falling to pieces on you..... just thought that I would share! Good luck with yours, this really is a great recipe!
