These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe. I would also recommend using a different type of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts.

I'm not a huge fan of pistachios, but I love cranberries. These biscotti are a great way to enjoy both flavors in one delicious treat. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who loves cranberries.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover pistachios and cranberries. I often have a lot of these nuts and berries left over after baking other treats. These biscotti are a great way to put them to good use.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my biscotti turned out a bit too dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Next time, I'll be more careful with the mixing process.

These biscotti are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're well worth the effort. I would recommend using a stand mixer to make the dough. It will save you a lot of time and effort.

The pistachio cranberry biscotti were delicious! However, I found the dough to be a bit sticky and difficult to handle. I would recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping and baking.
