My family loves this recipe! It’s great with that morning cup of coffee, delicious as an afternoon snack or after-dinner dessert. Citrusy and crunchy, not too sweet, it always hits the spot. —Diana Burrink, Crete, Illinois

Have made this twice, first time as written and second time replacing the corn meal with 7/8 cup flour and adding about 2 tsp Truvia. We prefer all flour and more sweetness, though the recipe was very good as written. It really has more of a cookie texture than a biscotti texture. I wouldn't dare try to dunk one because it seems too crumbly. They do taste heavenly! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This recipe is absolutely unbelievable! I am not a huge fan of coconut and I LOVED this!! Some of my family likes a stronger taste of lime, some do not. This has the perfect amount of flavor without being overpowering. If you're looking for a stronger citrus flavor I would recommend using more zest or crystallized lime packets like True Lime products. It keeps your dough from getting too moist without taking away the flavor you're looking for. As for the cornmeal... I like it a lot. It gives it a more crumbley cookie texture rather than just a crunchy bread like cookie. Love This Biscotti!

this biscotti is totally different then any other biscotti that I have made. Not too crazy about the cornmeal and it did not taste very citrus y. If I make it again I will add way more zest or use lemons instead of limes.

This recipe is awesome. You would never believe it's low cal or low fat. I didn't have limes so I used lemons and it was great, plus I added 1 tsp lemon extract because I didn't have the zest. You'll love this cookie. It's very satisfying.
