I’ve just made them and am chomping on one as I write (it’s not quite cool yet but still tip-top). They worked brilliantly. I added some candied orange to one batch – super-good. I’m thinking crystallised ginger next time. Susie, just dust off the ‘excess’ (horrible word) before you shape the dough, like you would if you were making bread. (Or is that just me?) Anyway, thanks for a great recipe (again).

If you substitute pistachios and cranberries for the hazelnuts, you’ve got an italian delicacy.

I used this recipe to make biscotti for the first time over the weekend. I used roasted peanuts instead of hazelnuts. I didn’t get the shape exactly right (after cutting, my pieces were shorter and thicker than I like), but other than that it turned out awesome! I can’t wait to dunk it in coffee this week! :)

I made these last night (long after posting), and they were perfect as written. I really enjoyed them. A tip for those irritated with the batter: just pour from the bowl onto the baking sheet (roughly two rectangles of dough). use a spatula to shape the edges. I have done it forever, and the results are great. Plus no big deal about the runny batter.

When I sliced the logs there was raw flour “pinwheeled” in it from all the flour on my board. It’s very dry. What a waste of ingredients!

Calling this a “dough” is the understatement of the year. Mine was more like cake batter. I added another 3/4 c flour and finally got it workable, barely. Then the fun part was moving it to the baking sheet. There is a strange yellow color to the top of it from the egg that was brushed on. Never again!

I loved it! Made it tonight and it’s delicious! I would put a litle more chocolate, maybe my chocolate was very strong, cocoa actually. I had to add some flour when it came to add the nuts and fold it. Very sticky. Made 30, not 60… I posted pics on my blog, if you’d like to see them.

Perfect pair: coffee and biscotti (no dunking for me either).
Thanks Deb for the recipe!

I just made these tonight. They’re really delicious, and despite the unbelievably sticky, library-paste-meets-brick-mortar consistency of the dough, it was fun to put together and easy to do. Thank you for the inspiration!

I made those yesterday. They came out just fine, but for some reason it took my somewhat longer to get them baked. Anyway, they look, smell and taste just delicious and I just wanted to thank you for that recipe! Greetings from Europe!
