    Although my 1st attempt didn't quite resemble a biscotti, it was a hit nonetheless. The second time I made it- I made sure the butter was at room temp and let it sit after I creamed it with the sugar so that it was warmer and easier to mold. I also did a rough chop of the cranberries and nuts so that it would be easier to slice through. As per the earlier comments- I took it out after 30 min, cooled 15 min then cut before the second baking. No matter what you do it will taste great--just might not look as pretty as Giada's.

    This Biscotti is awesome. Recipe is easy to follow and delivers a very impressive item. I won't be without this Biscotti if I can help it. I also makes a wonderful gift idea as it is able to stand alone. Delish!

    I didn't have time to use the white chocolate... but no regrets. I made them for the first time as a summer party favor and got tons of compliments. Cranberry and lemon biscotti work well in the summer as well as in the winter. Wow, I can't believe I am a baker (and a good one!

    I am not a great baker. These biscotti came out great! Easy to make if you really follow the directions. They were crunchy enough to dunk and the white chocolate added a great flavor combination. An impressive addition to a cookie plate. I loved saying I had made them myself. Try them, they keep well in a cookie tin also.

    This recipe was so easy and delicious! I decided to make them as Chrsitmas gifts this year and it was perfect. I ommitted the nuts but added a bit of orange zest. It was such a great hit and a sophisticated cookie!

    I'm quite disappointed in this recipe. I like my biscotti to be really crunchy, almost hard, so that it stands up to dunking into Vin Santo or PG Tips. These are too crumbly even after the second baking. The flavor is nice, I used almond extract and vanilla extract and a mixture of orange and lemon zest. I wish I had used anise extract in one batch.

    These are perfect. I screwed up a little though. 1. I thought you could microwave white chocolate like you can real chocolate. Big mistake! It turned granular, hard, and didn't melt. 2. Once I properly melted the white chocolate per directions, I realized I was out of red sugar and only had green. In a fit of craftiness, I added red food coloring to the melted white chocolate. Don't do that either! The chocolate was fine (and pink but wasn't as smooth and glossy as it was before that addition. I took mine out at 33 minutes (just in case based on other reviews and baked each side for 6 minutes (sub-total of 12 minutes for the second baking (total baking time-- 45 minutes. My event is in two hours so I couldn't risk crumbling. Thanks Giada! Delicious!
