They taste good, but I had to cook them for 45 minutes. They were crumbly when I tried to cut them, so I'd recommend letting them cool a bit after the 25 minutes, then cutting, then popping them back in for more time.

This recipe is just a bit off...
There is way too much vanilla! (I think you could cut it in half I also think there was a bit too much sugar. I would recommend looking for a different recipe if you are interested in making biscotti.

My biscotti had to cook far longer than what was recommended - it was still very very soft even after 30 minutes. Everything was measured to the T! Any ideas why??

I too thought the recipe had a little too much sugar. However some of my family who have never had biscotti enjoyed it. I have had several different biscotti but this was my first time baking it. I plan to try this recipe again with only the white sugar.

Very good. I was somewhat skeptical when I read the other reviews prior to making this. Some were very good and others rated very poorly. I loved the taste, and did not think it was too sugary or gooey at all. You can adjust how chewy or crisp you like the biscotti by modifying the baking time after you cut it. When you cut them, be sure to let them cool for about 5 minutes first, then use a bread knife or other sharp knife to cut through those whole almonds. Excellent!

I used less vanilla than called for. The first baking time left them quite underdone in the middle so I baked them for about 10 minutes longer.

I found this recipe easy to follow and the biscotti came out perfect. I added some anisette to the recipe which made the biscotti a big hit with a cup of expresso! Friends who had never eaten biscotti loved it.

I made this biscotti recipe to take to a potluck at work. It was my very first time making biscotti actually and it turned out wonderful. I found it to be very easy and everyone that tried it loved it. One note for maybe someone else that has never made biscotti before, I wasn't sure if I should cut it when it came out of the oven or wait, I ended up cutting it when it was warm/hot and then left it on the cookie sheet all cut and let it sit before i started moving the pieces around. This recipe was a great find, everyone loved the flavor and everything about it, even non-biscotti lovers, loved this recipe. Also I think that it had a wonderful aesthetic as well.

Everyone says this is so easy to make....I had a difficult time....dough very sticky and difficult to put into logs. Using flour did help. When baking they really flattened out and baking time needed to be much longer.Then they fell apart when trying to cut.Flavor of bits and pieces very good. Can someone help me. We love biscotti and I would like to sucessfully make these. Thanks

This biscotti received rave reviews from friends and family. For a chewier cookie, cut the second baking time down a little. I dipped the finished product in chocolate and left everyone asking for more.
