The biscotti took longer to bake than the recipe stated. I had to keep an eye on them so they didn't burn.

I found the dough to be a bit dry. I had to add a little extra water to get it to come together.

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The biscotti still turned out great.
