This recipe is absolutely perfect. I have never made biscotti before and they came out delicious and beautiful. I substituted almond extract for the anise extract and added in some finely chopped almonds.

This is by far my favorite biscotti recipe. I make all kinds of biscotti with this dough, using almond or lemon extract in place of the anise, and adding anything from cranberries and pistachios to orange zest and candied ginger. This is a great basic recipe that turns out delicious every time.

These were good, but not the best recipe I've followed for biscotti.

This was my first time making biscotti and it was so easy and so delicious! I made 2 batches for Christmas gifts, taking other reviewers suggestions-- 1 batch was with almond extract, chopped walnuts and mini choc chips, and 2nd batch was with vanilla extract, orange zest and dried cranberries. I also took tips from past reviewers regarding using flour to handle the sticky dough and also cutting the loaf as soon as possible (I only waited a couple of minutes to avoid crumbling. What I like best about them is that you don't feel like you are breaking your teeth on them like you do on some other biscotti.

it needed more flour for handling as it was a VERY sticky dough.

This is the simplest, easiest and BEST biscotti recipe I have tried. Anise is the perfect ingredient for biscotti. We did add some sliced almonds which added a wonderful crunch, looked nice and complemented the anise.
If this is the first time you are doing biscotti, here are some tips to deal with the very sticky dough:
-layer a piece of parchment paper with flour
-coat your hands with flour
-pour the entire clump of dough onto the parchment paper
-coat the knife with flour so that you can cut the dough in half
-then you can begin to kneed the dough and place on the patchment paper in the cookie sheet
Enjoy!!!

I tried this receipe last year and have been using it ever since. I have made made "Anise Bars" as my mother used to call them for about 40 years as my mother did. These are so much easier, the only difference I use 1 cube of melted butter instead of oil. Using a mixer instead of doing it by hand is a breeze. The old Italian receipes for all cookies were always aprroximate amounts of flour and you went by feel of dough. Thank goodness this receipe works!!!
