Follow up on last comment. it is late and I was making this in a hurry. Another bad thing to do. I think the next time will be with 3 cups of flour, make the dough ahead of time and chill it. Then I can come back and form and follow through. Cut and doing the second bake. Loving the taste. I went to this site as I was looking for a biscotti with butter and even though crisp, I did not want it to break your teeth, like the commercial types!!!!

I am in the process of making this recipe for the first time and I have found a major error in the amount of flour needed. The first baking is going on and at first I was worried, as this flattened immediately, yet it is now rising. And to achieve golden brown in my oven is taking 25 min. I have made biscotti before and after adding just two cups of flour it was soup! Not a cookie dough consistancy. So I checked in on the comments. Added one more cup of flour as one commented. I think next time I will go with three cups of flour and add a little extra if needed. Smelling and looking good. One should be able to form the biscotti dough with wet hands and no limping or drooping. I had to flour my hands and so on. Ps, you do not need greased foil if you have parchment paper>

This was a great recipe! Delectible!!! I used almond extract and also had to use almost a whole extra cup of flour to get the right consitency. I have made this recipe twice, and it was great!

I found that the dough is too soft to form without refrigeration. I chilled it for 20 minutes before forming. It is a delicious recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of anise extract so I used almond extract. It was not crunchy after the specified time, so I increased the baking time by 20 minutes. My family all enjoyed this recipe.
