Wonderful Recipe! The only thing I changed was to add almond extract instead of vanilla as some reviewers commented on a bland flavour. I also took the one reviewers suggestion to add the flour 1/4c at a time and blend well between. I thought the dough would not come together when I turned it out from the mixer...but I kneeded it a bit and it came together well. My boyfriend is not a cookie lover and he has already eaten 3. I also found that 15 minutes for the 2nd bake was not quite long enough...I "toasted" the cookies for a full 25 minutes and they were still a little soft in the centre. Great recipe, I will definitely make this again.

I'm from an Italian family so we know our biscotti! I love cinnamon so I thought these biscotti were delicious. However, I followed this recipe exactly as written & the dough is way too crumbly. I added 1 more whole egg to bind it all together & the consistency was perfect. You can also add some chopped hazelnuts for a little bit of crunch.

I've made many kinds of biscotti and I think I found my favorite! I added 1 T. of maple syrup and some chopped walnuts. Excellent!

DH loved these and he isn't overly fond of biscotti. They are flavorful and is to make. I am looking forward to my morning cup of coffee tomorrow! DH has already asked me to make another batch tomorrow.

This is a good recipe. I've made it twice now, both times it came out a bit crumbly - but it's still good. This time I spiced it up a bit and added chocolate chips and orange vodka...very, very good!!!!

I made this biscotti today & I gotta say..... it made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside! :D (The cinnamony-sugary taste reminded me of the holidays.) When they were done they really did look like biscotti & I was very pleased. My only problem was that I forgot to add the baking powder & maybe I didn't bake them long enough because they reminded me more of a cookie but the taste was O.K. (at least my mom liked them!)

These are the best! Great recipe of things you always have on hand. I followed the recipe exact. I've made these several time and they always turn out just as good as the first time. My only gripe would be that they are small. I've considered making just one log but haven't tried that that. These are great to make when you're hosting a party with a bunch of ladies. Impressive and delish!

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.

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!
