Wonderful flavor but I had the same problem as Crafty Lady in that the dough was quite dry and not very easy to work. I pretty much doubled the hazelnuts but kept all else as ask for. I made a half recipe for 12 cookies and actually got 8 sliced at about a half inch thick. Again they taste wonderful. Made for Comfort Cafe, Jan 09.

This is a very good recipe for biscotti. The quantity of the hazelnuts, cinnamon, clove, coffee powder and chocolate chips were perfect. The dough is on the dry side and a little hard to work with when it comes to slicing the dough. The taste was great and it's perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Made for Comfort Cafe.
