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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like soft cookies.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these biscotti were still really good. The lime flavor really shines through.

These biscotti turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend, and they still came out perfectly crispy.

These lime-coconut biscotti are a delightful treat! The combination of flavors is perfect, and the texture is crispy and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
