I've been experimenting with biscotti recipes, lately, and this is by far our favorite! My husband took some to work and 2 people asked for the recipe. I put the dough into 2 large loaves - next time I'll make the loaves smaller, as the sliced pieces were a bit large. Make this; you'll be happy! Also - I used Splenda for Baking for the sugar.

Fantastic, I used almond extract in place of the anise (I'm the only Italian in the world that doesn't like anise) but kept true to the rest of the recipe and it was delicious, I like a more tender biscotti, and this does have a tender texture, with my small change, this is it, the family biscotti recipe for now on, thank you so much for this wonderful cookie!!!

This recipe was really good. The texture was great. I used 2 tsp. almond extract and 1 tsp. vanilla extract---instead of the anise. But I felt that it needed more extract. Next time I will use 3 tsp. or more almond extract.

This is a good basic biscotti recipe. I like to make variations to this recipe such as adding cocoa and chocolate chips. When I use this particular one, sometimes I will dip half of the biscotti in some white chocolate. Be aware though, this recipe makes TONS of biscotti. Try cutting it in half or maybe in fourths.

This is a good, simple recipe. These are my mum's favourite and I've made them a few times for her. I like cutting them into small delicate slices so they look like pretty little biscuits.

This recipe is *wonderful*. I made two small changes: I ran out of butter and had to add shortening to make up, and it still came out wonderfully. Also, I added just a bit of anise seeds, which I felt added to the flavor. Delicious! I will definitely make this again ... tonight, actually!
