Excellent recipe - thanks Joan!

The best way to start my day is with 3 or 4 of these dipped in my tea. I used anise oil instead of orange extract, and dipped the finished slices in melted chocolate, then drizzled with white. I've tried chopped deluxe mixed nuts and chocolate chips, using vanilla instead of the anise flavor. Try it, you'll like it !

Incredible!!! These are so good, so much better than I expected. You gotta use the orange extract. Totally made it. I drizzled them with white chocolate afterwards. I will be making these again and again...maybe tonight!

crumbly messy goodness. I added a bit of anise which tasted yummy with the nuts.

My dad requested biscotti, so I quickly chose this recipe and presented the cookies as a Christmas gift (after sampling several myself with hot coffee!). I substituted vanilla extract for the orange and used sliced almonds and semi-sweet chocolate chips rather than walnuts. Absolutely delicious; they came out perfectly. This will definitely become one of my regulars.

This is a great basic recipe. The first time I made it, I thought it tasted a little too oily, so I cut the oil to 1/2 cup and used 1/4 cup of butter for the flavor. I also added 1/4 tsp of salt. I did not have orange extract, so I used lemon instead with some lemon and orange zest and poppy seeds. I love recipes like this that you can change around each time you make them. Thanks for sharing!

This is an excellent recipe and mine gets gobbled up right away. I use almonds for a traditional Mondel Brodt.

My boyfriend and I are addicted to these cookies. They are tasty and easy to make.

Excellent recipe! Even my picky-eater boyfriend loved this, I coudn't believe it! Simple to make, even easier to eat!

Excellent shortbread type cookie. I like a strong orange flavor, so added 1 T of orange zest. Next time I will add more.

I used lemon extract with a little lemon zest. They are so good and simple. Thank you :)

Fantastic! Not too sweet, and they came out crunchy--with extra baking time.

Great recipe - I've made it twice with great success both times. I like to add a cup of chocolate chips to the batter in place of walnuts for an even sweeter treat!

Easy to make, quick and delicious. Easy to also make your on revisions, like I used dried cranberries. Will definately make again. My mom loved it.

This is fun and easy to make. I didn't think there was enough dough to make 4 logs, so i only made 2. Don't be fooled! They rise alot. My biscuits were too big to be biscoti like, but they were great. Thanx

Easy to make and delicious.

Was very good, can also use some orange skin instead of extract.

These are absolutely wonderful. I make them all the time and even my brother loves them and he is extremely picky! I tend to add chocolate chips in them and they come out great. I can guarantee everyone will love them.

Very good Biscotti. I didn't have orange extract so used 1 tsp almond and 1 tsp vanilla. I added 1/2 C choco chips.

I have been meaning to review this recipe, because I have been making it for a long time and, in fact, am eating a slice right now!! This makes an absolutely delicious cookie. The directions are excellent and accurate. The only thing I do differently is add 1 T dried orange peel in addition to the orange extract. I've made it with chopped almonds when I'm out of walnuts and it still tastes fabulous. Everyone loves this cookie, and it keeps so well in tupperware. It does seem to take twice as long to make because you slice and bake them a second time, but don't let that deter you. It is worth it, and makes a decent number of cookies. Make sure you watch them brown and turn them once during the browning step. If you have cookie racks, it makes the cooling process go much faster. (As does a ceiling fan in the kitchen.) Try these cookies - they are great.
