These are so delicious and simple. I had to omit the nuts b/c of allergies and used juice from the zesting orange in place of liquer. Other than that, no changes. I did not have to add flour; I weigh my ingredients and used a total of 280 grams of all-purpose (Gold Medal).

Delightful! I used 1/2 grand marnier and 1/2 o.j, and also cut the cinnamon in half. Next time I'll go full grand marnier and cut the cinnamon completely for a fresher, fruitier taste. I also had to bake logs an extra few minutes to get really firm for a drier, crunchier finished product. The finer dice for berries and nuts makes the logs cut much neater, however, I really like the texture more with whole nuts. Flavor is great and all in all a great recipe - just like the coffee shop! Especially pretty dressed up with white chocolate. Great gift from the kitchen

Great as gifts. I dipped them in melted white chocolate sqaures in which I had added finely diced dried cranberries to. They were a hit.

The final product was good however I used 1/2 cup extra flour and still had a hard time placing it on a cookie sheet. It was soft like cookie dough. I shaped it into one long roll using a spoon. Next time I'll make two as per recipe. Baked for 25 min. Was easy to slice into 3/4 inch. Took additional 20 minutes on each side to dry out. I brushed melting chocolate on top. The end result was good. I didn't care for the cranberries. Probably because I paid $4. for for a 6 oz. bag and only used 1/4 cup. Dried apricots may be good. It was time consuming as I was making sweet potato casserole and a creme cheese pumpkin pie at the same time.

These were wonderful! I took them to work and everyone scolded me for ruining their diets because they couldn't keep their hands off of them. The orange flavour was wonderful and the cranberries a nice addition. I dipped one end in semi-sweet chocolate which was a nice addition (but not necessary). I'll be making this recipe again and ruining other people's diets. :)

I love biscotti, there's sooo many ways to do it up!! I bought slivered almonds and crushed them before I toasted them. I also used extract instead of liquer and drizzled white and dark chocolate to finish ;}

Excellent!! Made these several times, they always turn out perfect, and seem to be better texture than some other flavors. I used 2 Tbsp orange zest and omitted the liquer; also omitted the almonds (might be why they are easier to slice). I love the cinnamon taste in the background. Very good with white chocolate drizzled on top. Mmmmm.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. This was my first attempt at Biscotti and they were wonderful! I used the juice from the orange I zested instead of the orange liqueur and it worked out great! I did use a little extra cinnimon, but that is just how I like it :) I will definitely make them again and again!
