Definitely decrease the flour amount to 2 1/2 CUPS. I increased coconut extract to 2 tsp., increased shredded coconut to 3/4 cup and used 1 cup slivered almonds. Very good!

I made this recipe with modifications this afternoon. I should have double it. I replaced the coconut extract with strong rum, half cup roasted coconut, 1 cup chopped walnut and about one cup of chocolat chips semi sweet and cut the flour to 3 cups. I should have cut the sugar by one quarter cup because of the chocolat chips. They are a litle bit too sweet for me but excellent for the sweet tooth. I give it a 5 star

I'm sure this recipe is great as written but biscotti really lends it self to substitutions and so I did. Followed the suggestion of other reviewers and reduced flour to 3 cups. Used chopped almonds in place of walnuts and 3 extracts: 1/2 tsp. each of vanilla, coconut, and almond. With addition of mini chocolate chips it's like Almond Joy biscotti! It's easier to slice if it cools for a full 15 mins first and don't use a sawing motion when slicing - just cut straight through.

I did 1/2 almond extract and 1/2 coconut extract. I also substituted the walnuts for almonds as we never have walnuts in my house. Love this recipe!!

WAY easier than I expected and I was able to alter any "flavoring" ingredients with the same results! Thanks for the recipe--this is definitely a keeper!

Such wonderful flavors, but needed more time to cool before the second baking to make sure that they stayed crisp and dry.

I have tried several biscotti recipes and this one is my favorite 'base' recipe! The coconut walnut combination is yummy, but I've also deleted them and made variations: Orange Almond, Amaretta/almonds/almond flavoring, Almond Joy (cocoa powder, coconut and almonds). You can change it up so many ways and it's delicious every time!

VERY EASY WITH GREAT RESULTS!! I too adjusted the recipe a bit; 3 1/8 cup flour, 3/4 cup cocunut and I used pecans because that's my favorite which I toasted together, very lightly, before adding. It might seem like it's dry but don't give up, divide the dough in half and roll each half out on the counter with your hands and if the roll separates, simply pat it back and keep rolling gently back and forth till you have a log, The butter content will mesh it together if you're patient!!! My 3 year old "helps" me when I'm cooking/baking and these were a perfect recipe for her to help me with. TRY IT, I can't wait for tomorrow morning to eat them with my morning cup!!! thanks for a great recipe.
