These biscotti were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter to the dough next time.

These biscotti were a bit too minty for my taste. I think I'll try using less peppermint extract next time.

These biscotti were a bit too hard for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time. The flavor was good though.

The biscotti were a bit dry for my liking, but the flavor was spot on. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter to the dough next time to make them more moist.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. The peppermint flavor was nice and refreshing.
