These were wonderful. Only criticism I have was that the two three-inch logs make a small number of somewhat clunky biscotti. Next time I'll bake them in three two-inch logs instead, to yield a larger number of smaller cookies.

YUMMY! JUST HAD TO GLUTTON THIS UP A BIT. I COULD NOT LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE! I SUB'D DRIED CHERRIES FOR THE CRANBERRIES, THEN SOAKED THEM IN 6 TBLS. OF GRAN MARNIER. I ALSO INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF CHERRIES TO 1 CUP INSTEAD OF 1/2. WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY HAPPIER! DEFINITELY "GODDESS APPROVED"! XOXOXOXOX

These biscotti were very good and easy to make. I was unsure about the amount of pistachioes, 1 1/4 cup seemed like a lot, so I only put in 3/4 cup. They were a bit crumbly when I cut them, maybe they need to cool more first. I will definitely make these again!

Fabulous!! Loved this recipe. The combo of the orange zest, cranberries, white chocolate and pistachios are incredible. Very easy to make and tasty. I cant wait to take these to work tomorrow for everyone to try. After making the dough, I did stir in the white chocolate, cranberries and nuts by hand (very chunky). Will make these again very soon!

These are great! I must say, I totally didn't see the part about refrigerating the dough. I just smoothed it out with a spatula on my cookie sheet(I used a sil-pat). I also did not have any orange or pistachios. But, they still tasted yummy!

This was very good, I had never made biscotti before so I was a bit nervous about preparation, this recipe is pretty easy. I enlisted the help of my husband and his brother to help shell the nuts, that was a bit time consuming but that is really the only downfall to this recipe. The cookies end up very pretty, the colors look great and the flavor is excellent-not too sweet. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is really delicious! It's similar to the 'Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti' recipe on this website (which is also fantastic!). I added some orange extract and doubled the vanilla extract. One thing I noticed is that I should probably reduce the oven temperature for the second bake so the biscotti don't get too brown. Maybe it was just me. I think I'll reduce the oven temp to 275-300 degrees so that the biscotti can get hard without browning too much. As another reviewer had suggested, an electric knife cuts through these biscotti like butter. It worked perfectly! These biscotti stay fresh for at least a week if you keep them in a tighly closed container.

Outstanding Biscotti recipe, Elizabeth. The taste is great and the texture is perfect. They're not so hard they'll break your teeth, but not so soft that they leave crumbs everywhere. I added 1 teaspoon orange extract in addition to the zest. The orange together with the white chocolate flavor just blows those tastebuds away! Thanks.

I apologize for my skepticism, these are amazing! My Italian grandma was the all-time world champion biscotti maker. But these are the best modern twist on Grandma's biscotti that I can imagine! They are VERY easy to make (used Kitchen Aid mixer), wonderfully flavored, excellent texture, smell divine! Used 1/2 tsp orange extract in place of the zest; had only 1/2 C pistachios, so I added slivered almonds too. These will be a PERMANENT addition to my files!

This recipe was great. My fiancee made a double batch to take to work for the holidays. We drizzled them with white chocolate and arranged them on a tray. Needless to say, they didn't last through his shift!

Very good and very easy. I did not have the pistacchios (sp?). All I had was walnuts. Ha! They actually tasted very, very good. I also drizzled white chocolate over them to give them some pizzaz! I used wax paper and made sure to spray it with some Pam before baking.

This was a big hit with all my coffee loving friends for Christmas. I think I made about 6 batches for gifts and they were loved by all. I didn't change a thing! I was able to find pistachios in the produce department (already shelled), which was a huge help. I added a few more white choc. chips and the full amount of cranberries. VERY GOOD! Thank you!

I made two batches of this today. It is wonderfully good!! :) It's going to friends and family for the holidays. The first batch I made as per the recipe. You HAVE to try this! It's amazing! For the second batch I made the basic recipe, adding only chopped almonds and almond flavoring (1/4 teaspoon) Then drizzled with white and dark chocolate. These make a beautiful presentation together. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe...it's going into my permanent book, the one that is going to be passed down to my son (who loves to cook)! :)

I didn't have some of the ingredients on hand the first time I made these biscotti, and now that I've made about 30 batches for everyone I know this way, I don't think I'll ever use the original recipe. I substituted 1/4 tsp lemon extract for the orange zest, added more white chocolate chips, and about 1/2 a cup toasted almonds instead of pistachios. I top the biscotti logs before I bake them with egg white or milk, and sprinkle with granulated sugar and chopped almonds. They look and taste better than store bought.

Just superb! I made these with macadamia nuts instead of pistachios, and they are too good! Perfect with a cup of tea. I’m not sure I like the orange flavor with coffee as much. Also, a very impressive looking cookie to give as a gift.
