This biscotti recipe is truly delicious. I have made 3 batches in the last 2 days. Made as printed and used anise extract (recipe didn't say to use oil or seed). I was happy with the anise oil and the biscotti turned out great. I drizzled with melted white chocolate. I did add 1/4 cup extra flour to the 2nd two batches and think that was a good idea. Also made a batch with walnuts, and Frangellico for the flavoring and drizzed with dark chocolate. Biscotti isn't crumbly or too hard, just as it should be...Waiting for a cup of coffee. Thank you Meatball101 for a great recipe.
