I'm not a big fan of citrus flavors, so I omitted the lemon zest and orange zest. The biscotti still turned out great!

These biscotti were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making these biscotti because I'm not a fan of almonds. But I was pleasantly surprised! The almond flavor was subtle and the citrus flavors really shone through.
