Italian Nut Biscotti image

These biscotti's are the old Italian favorites, My Daughter-in-laws Mother always made these at Christmas for everyone to enjoy. Now this is my Favorite Biscotti recipe. I have been making them at christmas time & other times for years. My family always looks forward to my making them.They are great served with coffee or wine. These rusk-type cookies are studded with nuts and flavored with anise. You Twice bake them to a toasty crunchiness. They do take time,But,are well worth it. Prep time does not include Refrigerate time.

These biscotti were a complete disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies fell apart when I tried to bake them. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was disappointed with these biscotti. They were too hard and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

The biscotti were good, but I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make biscotti.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
