To Anne in Dallas -- the log is to be 13 inches long and straight, and 3 inches thick. The cut side means laying them on either flat side, Hope you try this.

I baked these yesterday, following the recipe exactly. My log roll spread out a lot while baking and split along the top. That made it difficult to slice them without having them break. I think it probably needed a little more flour. I did not care for the white chocolate dip. When I make these again, and I definitely will, I will use regular dark chocolate. I will also try others' suggestions to start slicing them a lot sooner than 30 minutes.

I make this every year. It is my absolute favorite. Very easy to make even though everyone that eats them is very impressed.

Sorry, I have not tried this so I gave it the current rating that it has to be fair. Unfortunately I missed the show. Is she talking about a log with a 3-inch diameter or is it to be a log of a different shape other than circular? Also, after cutting the log into slices, wouldn't each side of the slices be a cut side? Thanks in advance as I am sure I am misunderstanding something.

I'm so glad to see this recipe is still out there because I misplaced it. I made these a couple of years ago and everyone loved them but my in-laws (perhaps not the biscotti they grew up with. They were easy & a hit with my friends and most family ;! I know know what I will do with my rainy day tomorrow!

I really like this recipe. It was a hit from day one. I have been making them for about 2 years now. I always use dried cherries instead and usually use pistachios, but sometimes pecans. I dip one end in white chocolate and bag them in small cellophane bags from the craft story tied with a pretty ribbon. They are great stocking stuffers and gifts for family, friends, and neighbors. Most important, they are so easy to make. Tip: don't skimp on the lemon zest. Many friends tell me they don't share these!

I made this yesterday and i fell in love with this recipe. I used just almonds and little vanilla extract. As the other reviewer said, i dusted my hand with flour to make a log. This helped me to form the log shape without the atter sticking to my hand. Thanks Giada for this recipe which can be customized to what we have in hand. Overall a successful recipe.

I usually like all of Giada ideas and recipes but I think the corn meal in this one was too much. I think I will stick to much traditional Biscotti recipes.

I am not a baker. I saw Giada do this show 3 years ago and I said, "I can do that". It is now an expected holiday cookie by friends and family. I follow the recipe to a tee. I do however, omit the chocolate and sugar sprinkles. I don't think the cookie needs it. They are buttery and not overly sweet. Great with coffee.

I had the problem of spreading out in the pan but tasted good. I used raisins and almonds and no chocolate. My family loved them. How can I stop them from spreading out so thin.
