    This is a simple recipe and very easy! I added some vanilla extract and some walnuts and mini chocolate chips. These are great!

    Love these cookies, great receipe. Only thing I did different was used vanilla extract rather than anise. I used an orange glaze too. These are great!

    I am a pastry chef and have used this recipe in our bakery numerous times. It always comes out perfectly. Only wait about 10 min. before cutting. If you let it get too cool it will be harder to slice.

    Also, vary the extracts/oils and additions to customize your flavors...add dried cranberries and orange zest; mini chocolate chips and walnuts; lemon zest and dried blueberries; whole almonds and anise...experiment and enjoy!

    I have wanted to make biscotti for ages but was so intimidated. This recipe was easy, and came out so yummy. I think the key to keeping them from crumbling is a serrated knife and making sure the cookie is not to thin. I will never buy biscotti from the store again!

    Very easy to make, wonderful texture. I didn't have anise so I substituted almond extract and threw in some flaked almonds as well. So delicious and picture perfect!

    I love this recipe-- have made them 3 times, and they come out great each time. Plus... it's so easy to make. I did substute Almond extract and added whole almonds to the recipe-- otherwise I have followed the recipe as stated. I've had requests for this recipe too as I have made them for our office pot luck.

    This is the easiest and best biscotti recipe there is. Coming from an Italian growing up with mom's biscotti, I use this one! I've substituted different extracts & add added zests & they come out greater each time. Where ever I go, people want me to bring them! Not sure why this recipe only has 4 stars it needs 10!

    Try 2 teaspoons orange extract & the zest of a large orange! I have no words. Nice one Rocco!

    i love biscotti, and to get a recipe from rocco, an itallian, an with so many great reviews, i was so excited.
    i made it to recipe specifications.
    upon first cutting, it just crumbled, and i went ahead and put in the perfect slices for the second bake, upon tasting, i knew the best place for this biscotti was in the trash.

    easy to put together, Subbed Almond extract for anise. added cranberrys, helps to mold if your hands are wet, really wet. cooks up well, cuts really well with bread knife. Will make again for the holidays, and one batch makes a ton, I had enough to give to 3 of our neigbors, and take to a dinner. really great.
