I'm not a big fan of lemon, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The anise flavor was very prominent and balanced out the lemon nicely.

These biscotti were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the biscotti turned out great! I used a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, and they still had a nice crispy texture.
