Just made these tonight. I substituted 1 cup of white whole wheat flour. They have a nice flavor - not very sweet, but hearty and healthy tasting. I wish mine had turned out a bit crisper...they just wouldn't do it! They're definitely firm, just not totally dry like I like. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Nice recipe - thank you!

The cookies were crumbly when I was slicing them.I also reduced the cinnaon by 2 teaspoons, and I had only half a cup of honey,so I added a little sugar to make up for the sweetness.I am thinking maybe that is why the cookies were a little crumbly.My two year old just nibbled away at them though.That says a lot-the recipe is very good.

I wasn't a big fan of these, but when I gave them away, everyone else loved them. Mine turned out a bit too crumbly--I am not sure why...

I was looking for a nutfree biscotti recipe that was would have crunch. I made this twice and it was a real hit. They seems to get better after a few days - the honey flavor gets stronger. The only changes I made was to add more flour as i shaped them and I divided the dough into four sections to make smaller biscotti. For a little interest, I added 1/2 T. of anise seed and dribbled a light anise glaze over finished cookies.
