    Yes biscotti is supposed to be hard. Also, biscotti does not mean "twice baked" its Italian for biscuits (plural. Biscotto is one biscuit (singular.

    I love biscotti, expecially if it is hard, a perfect compliment to a rich robust coffee. Thank you for this recipe!!

    LOLz at all the comments about these biscotti being "hard." Just as so many others pointed out, biscotti is supposed to be that way. It literally means "double baked" in Italian, from my understanding. And it was virtually invented, I would assume, for dipping into drinks, coffee in particular. This recipe is great! I didn't have any oranges, so just doubled the lemon zest, and the citrus flavor combined with the cookie crunch is just awesome! It really is a great recipe, and the corn meal added extra texture. Thanks Giada for posting it!!! :D

    Complaining that Biscotti is hard is like complaining that vichyssoise tast like cold potato soup. Look up the definition of Biscotti. If it's baked twice it's going to be hard..
    This is a great recipe. The others may have had a timer or oven problem. I had no complaints.

    This was very easy to make, and not very time consuming. I definitely recommend this recipe.

    This recipe was 4- star exactly as written, adjust time on second bake for your area- moisture preference etc. I am at 5500 ft. altitude, and only needed 10 minutes maximum for a crunchy biscotti during the second bake.

    I changed it a bit the second time I made it, and liked it better. I added some Orange liquor, used 2 tbsp orange zest, 1 tbsp lemon, and added some slivered almonds. These were amazing without the chocolate, and paired really well with 'ladies tea time/book club'.

    These will become a regular- and I am sure will be a good base for lots of other yummie additions and combinations (pistachios, cranberries, white chocolate....

    Ps- wet hands when forming the shape on the cookie sheet is a MUST- it works so much easier than trying to form it either with the spatula or dry hands or waxed paper!

    I love this recipe. It's simple but by no means plain. I did not want to do the chocolate dipping so I replaced half cup of flour with half cup of cocoa powder and I used some Grand Marnier as well. This is one of the items for a Valentine's Day gift basket. I think the recipient will love it!

    They ended up HARD AS ROCKS and did not even taste good at all!!! I do NOT recommend this for anyone, it wasn't even good dipped in coffee. I love Giada's show, but most of her recipes do NOT turn out and it is very disappointing and a HUGE waste of food!!!!

    The biscotti turned out to be so hard they were almost impossible to eat unless you dunked them. Many other biscotti recipes are better.

    I liked this recipe, but I felt like it had too much salt in it. I didn't coat the biscotti in chocolate, and perhaps the salt serves to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate coating. I have other recipes that call for 1/4 tsp. of salt. I think I'd go with 1/2 tsp. next time.

    Otherwise, great! Added dried cranberries, too. Yum!
