I didn't have almonds so used walnuts and added some chopped orange flavored currents from Trader Joe's. I like that they aren't too hard to bite into. Really pretty with the orange zest (I used 2 T. just because I love that flavor). Thanks for a great recipe! i will definitely make these time and time again. These really came out nicely!

You're right - the perfect biscotti. I love them. Of course, I also drizzled them with chocolate to add a little extra sweetness. Oh, and I used frozen orange juice concentrate instead of orange liquer. This will be my go-to biscotti recipe. And I posted about it on my blog as well, if you're interested. :) Thanks!

So, delicious. Thanks again for sharing the recipe. Oh, by the way if you smear a little melted semi sweet chocolate on one side!! To die for!!!

I think this recipe might be foolproof because I didn't have Grand Marnier so I added a tbs of fresh orange juice and 1/2 tbs extra of grated orange zest. The dough was REALLY sticky but that might be because I used "00" flour? I added extra (about 1 cup) flour and the biscotti still came out really well. Any tips for working and shaping the dough? I will be enjoying them for breakfast over the next few days (or as long as they'll last!) =) These are delicious!

Gosh, they're good. Love the melted butter. Having to cream butter and sugar always stops me in my tracks. Too cold from the fridge, too warm on the counter and back again. I ran out of almonds so half have walnuts. Cut them thick so I made only 28. My mom's used to be thick so I may have been cutting with that memory in mind. Used Amaretto liquor. The house smells like almond heaven. Also made rice pudding with short sushi brown rice. Maybe not such a good idea since it took forever to soften the rice. Tastes great, but a little chewy as expected. I have been craving these. Gosh, they’re good. Love the melted butter. Having to cream butter and sugar always stops me in my tracks.

The second time I substituted pistachios for the almonds and again, they turned out heavenly. My boyfriend's mother has a biscotti recipe that has 8 or 10 different extracts in it. I am glad that my boyfriend can have TWO favorite biscotti recipes, both made by women who love him. The only reason why this recipe might come out on top is that his mom only makes biscotti once a year: at Christmas time. I am going to make it year-round! Thank you for this delicious recipe. I have tried several others from your website and have been completely enamored of all of them. I have made this recipe twice.

They are just perfect. Tender and crisp with hints of orange and almond. I used Tuaca, the only liquor I had that said it had orange in it. I'll tell ya, that was the darn stickiest dough to try and shape though. So, I just buttered my spatula and pushed it into shape; it worked well. I got about 48 from the two loaves cut 1/2" thick. I will definately make these again. I made these biscotti tonight. They are just perfect. Tender and crisp with hints of orange and almond.
