This has been my favorite recipe for biscotti for 10 years now, and no matter how many different types I make, this is the one everyone wants most, I have to make at least 3 batches, just so everyone is happy. Yes, it is a wet dough and not the easiest to work with but well worth the effort...

I decided I want to be one of those wives who always has cookies around when people come over randomly- so I figured biscotti is a good cookie to have in the freezer because it is already hard so I can't see how freezing it would mess it up. Maybe my eggs were too small because they are organic, but my dough was way too dry- like powdery, so I added barely a tablespoon of water and that was plenty of extra moisture. Don't be lazy and try to make this fit onto one pan, they spread a lot so my cookies are really long. And my only advise is to slightly wet your hands- like when you make matzo balls- and then the dough doesn't stick to you. I missed the part where you are supposed to turn this out onto a board- I just shaped them on the parchment itself. yummy. emerils great! plus no butter so i can eat them after meat! YEY!

You must follow the recipe verbatim, including cook time. Biscotti are not soft cookies fyi. They are supposed to be a dunker therefore harder than most. But if you want to add a different kind of nut or chip, by all means go ahead. The dough WILL BE SOFT to handle, this is why you must throw it out on the cutting board or counter with additional flower to help it keep it's log shape. Once the original batter is mixed, it's up to your discretion to throw a little or a lot extra around it to mold it's log form. You can also dip them in any kind of chocolate [white, dark, semi-sweet, milk] when they're done. They freeze beautifully as well in any airtight container. These are perfect every time.

I found these biscotti not very tasty and the baking directions were off. I've made biscotti before and they usually cook quickly.. this one asked for a longer bake time and they came out tasteless and hard as a rock!

My whole family raved about these!
Even the folks who said "ugh..hard cookies" had to take it back!
Definitely a keeper. I substituted almonds for the hazelnuts, though, and skipped the white chocolate drizzle

I have never made biscotti before. This was pretty easy, but Really messy! Oh it was fun! And boy does it taste great! I will never buy it from the store again!

This is the second time making biscotti, the dough was more like a thick quick bread and I am worried it will be too thin. I'm still on the first bake, so we'll see what happens. Used macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips instead, hope it turns out!

I've made these several times and they turn out perfect every time! Altho over time I have altered the recipe slightly to suit my tastes. I take them to work where they are a huge hit.
