These were good, but being a coconut lover, I was disappointed that I really couldn't taste the coconut that well. I would definately double the amount of the coconut if I make again

As I am a coconut fan, this is a tasty recipe and very easy to make. I did not use the almonds. I did have to use a little more flour then suggested. I gave these biscotti as a gift in a nice jar with a bag of coffee and a coffee mug....it was a hit.

A very nice biscotti! I used the optional toasted almonds, baked them the full amount of time, drizzled with chocolate. Thank you! These will be Christmas presents!
