These are excellent. Soo super easy and turned out fantastic. I used a regular oven at 350 and baked 25 mins first time around and then an additional 10 mins each side for the second baking. I made a half recipe just to see if I would like them and YES these are yummy!!!! I doubled the cinnamon since I love all things cinnamon. I didn't have cinnamon baking chips, looked at Vons, Staters and Albertsons here in Southern CA. I forgot to add extra mini chocolate chips to replace them and next time if I don't have the cinnamon chips I will add 1/8 cup more sugar, and not add the extra chocolate chips. I would have preferred them a little sweeter. I missed the cinnamon baking chips so I will try to order them online. Thank you for a yummy easy peezy recipe!Reply

I have made similar biscotti recipes many, many times in a standard oven. One very important suggestion that I may offer is this: AFTER PREPARING THE DOUGH, PLACE IT ON THE BAKING SHEETS, LINED WITH PARCHMENT PAPER, AND REFRIGERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 (ONE) HOUR. Immediately after that, bake for about 25 minutes; remove from oven and let cool for to minutes. Then slice and place sideways as you return the biscotti to the oven to bake for approx. 10 minutes on one side; remove and turnover to the other side and bake 10 minutes. This technique will: a) discourage excessive spreading of dough b) prevent dough from being underdone or too soft. Also, the parchment paper helps in preventing burning on the bottoms of biscotti. <br/><br/>I have fine tuned this technique with consistent success. Good luck and enjoy!3Reply

This is fantastic! My family loved it and I have made it several times. I cannot find cinnamon chips so I double the chocolate chips. I am use almonds to replace the nuts. Great flavor and easy to make!Reply
