These are great! I’ve made them about a dozen times already and we all love them. They can be crumbly if your not careful when cutting, but they firm up exactly like biscotti should and just melt in your mouth when dipped in coffee. I’ve tried a lot of biscotti recipes various places and always come back to this one!

These were delicious biscotti. The texture was somewhat different than other recipes I’ve used – maybe more crumbly, like shortbread, but we enjoyed these with coffee immensely!
