Reviews
My review is actually of the texture of this biscotti. It is by far one of the best biscotti I've ever had. Sometimes the cookie is dry because of the extra baking, but these are just perfect. Since I'm always looking for the best lemon biscotti, I flavored mine with lemon emulsion and lemon zest. I wasn't sure how the cardamom would be received by my family but I will try that next.
I love biscotti and I especially love cardamom and almonds so I was thrilled to find this recipe. I just made a batch of these for Christmas and plan to dip them half way with white melting chocolate.Though the recipe was easy to make, I did have a bit of trouble with the pieces falling apart when I sliced them. I think I will allow for a longer cooling time, maybe a few hours, before trying to slice and bake again.This recipe is a keeper and is going into my favorite holiday recipes cookbook though they would be wonderful any time of year.
Delicious! Would recommend chilling dough for about 20 minutes before shaping into logs.
Light and delicious - very easy to make.
This is one of my family's favorite cookie recipes. It's absolutely delicious!
