Awesome recipe! Best biscotti I have ever made. I made three batches today, one was pistacio, one was apricot and pistacio and one was lemon walnut. I also dipped the tips in chocolate and white chocolate for the lemon walnut. Super delicious. You can add anything to this great recipe. I am wondering if the unbleached flour makes the difference from other recipes. Try it and treat yourself and give as gifts.

To die for!!! This recipe intrigued me because it's a softer version. This is my 1st time making biscotti after spending a fortune at coffee shops. Easy as can be. Crunchy, doesn't fall apart and you just dip in coffee. (No soaking & hoping you don't break your teeth) (not a fan of Ameratto) I used 2 tps vanilla and 2 tsp almond. I mixed in mini white and dk choc chips. To change them up a little, I drizzled with chocolate. On others, I dipped or spread chocolate then topped with crushed white chocolate chips & pecans or Sweet Mocha Hazelnut Sprinkle by Pampered Chef! My next batch I may add cocoa powder so the dough is chocolate and mix add pecans & coconut. Drizzle with chocolate & caramel so it's german chocolate! I'm not going to try another recipe because I LOVE the texture of these!!! I'll just experiment with toppings, flavors and nuts & berries! mmmm...no more hard & expensive coffee shop biscotti for me!

It was, I'm sure, entirely my fault they were crumbly and hard to handle. It was only my second attempt to make biscotti. But the taste is TO DIE FOR! I managed to get the biscotti in bars and toasted ( delicious just like this) but then I melted some of the white chocolate chips with a teaspoon of the Amaretto and a bit of cream and drizzled it over them after they had cooled. OMG, how delicious they are! Thank you for the best recipe so far and i'm not sure I'll even try others, maybe just expound on this one like adding chocolate and using another liquor, like Kaluah for the drizzle. Thanks again for a absolutely, wonderful Biscotti recipe.

This biscotti is divine! This is the same texture as the biscotti my friend's Italian mother used to make when we were kids. Crisp on the outside but super tender. I guess I was spoiled. I've never cared for the hard stuff. I'll make this again and again! Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe.

OMG these were so good! We hosted an Italian Christmas dinner this year, so I wanted to include biscotti in the menu. A lot of people don't care for the traditional dry biscotti, so I was hoping to find something a little different. These were the perfect choice. Everyone gobbled them up, and no dunking is needed. <br/>I needed to flour my hands a little when shaping the dough (it was a little sticky), but really easy to make.<br/>Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

OMG! This was so delicious! It is my new go-to recipe - so so good!!! I wanted to make it healthier so I substituted the butter with coconut oil, sugar with Stevia, and macadamia with pecans (what I had in the pantry). The coconut oil creamed with the sugar so nicely (make sure the oil's hard. If not, stick in the fridge for a bit). For the top, I melted the leftover chocolate with a bit of coconut oil in the microwave and drizzled. They looked gorgeous, tasted amazing, and the coconut flavor complemented the pecan and chocolate perfectly. Thanks so much for this recipe! My new Fave!!
