What I really wanted was the Chocolate biscotti that uses butter...but I didn't have butter so I used this one instead. It is okay, but needs BUTTER! :-) I used 4 eggs and used just under a 1/4 cup Kahlua in place of the water.

This was a great, simple recipe! I didn't have chocolate liqueur to use, but I think that would be great. I melted down about 3/4 c. chocolate chips and after the biscotti cooled I spread a thin layer on one of the sliced sides. Yum!

I made this last night and I loved it!!!!!! So did my coworkers! It was soooo simple to make!

Yummy! I halved the dough as suggested. I think that next time I will flatten the logs a little before baking, to give them more of a 'dipping friendly' shape when sliced. I baked them for 10 minutes after slicing, and the texture was great!

very good, but next time i think i will slice a little thinner and cook a little longer. this was very easy to make and froze very well, perfect for coffee for unexpeccted guests.
