    This recipe was my first attempt at biscotti. It came out perfect, I loved it so much I made it the following year for a Christmas cookie swap.

    I love this recipe so much! Thank you for your genius, Giada. The texture is great--just how a biscotti should be, crunchy, and slightly crumbly. I've made this a few times, some without the white chocolate and some with. It tastes good either way. I love how it's sweet from the cranberries, salty from the pistachios, and crunchy all at the same time! would definitely reccomend.

    This is the best. I used orange zest and macadamia nuts and the white chocolate. Yummy. I am going to try with chopped crystalized ginger and dried apricots or cranberries. Another option would be to use an egg bath of 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush on top of uncooked log. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar (super fine sugar Bake as directed. This is a good basic recipe and you could substitute any combination of nuts, dried fruit or any other mix-ins that use might normally use for cookies, muffins, etc. If you like your biscotti less hard, bake for 30 to 35 minutes on the first baking. I baked mine for 35 minutes and they were perfect for me.

    Loved these! The white chocolate is a great touch. They also make great homemade gifts for teachers, coaches, etc. They were really easy to make. Delicious!

    This was a huge hit! I made several batches because my family kept eating these up. Well done, Giada! I also replaced the pistachios with almonds in one batch and it was a hit, too.

    I altered the recipe a little by adding 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice to increase the lemon flavor and I used pecans instead of pistacios. I also used dark chocolate. They turned out to be a taste treat. Wonderful!

    Lovely!! Thank you other foodies for the tips on the shorter bake time and alternate additives. I made with Chopped Cherries and white chocolate and came out wonderful. Happy Cooking

    I host an annual cookie exchange over the holidays and as the host, I feel the need to present a spectacular cookie. This cookie is truly amazing. I could not stop eating them (very dangerous. The combination of cranberries, pistachios and white chocolate is so yummy and the texture of the cookie is perfect (not too hard like typical biscotti cookies. This cookie is so good, that they've made my list of annual cookies to make during the holidays.
