I love any biscotti type of cookie and these are really nice. I made mine vegan so my DH could enjoy them to. Thanks Mirj, for a great recipe!

This is a good basic recipe for mandelbrot. I found that you can add A LOT more than 1/2 cup filling. I poured one whole cup of trailmix with raisins and it still felt like more could be added. The best thing is - it's not too sweet. Thanks Mirj

I have made these cookies several times and they always come out real nice. I have several biscotti recipes but I like this one best because it calls for very little sugar compared to the others. I also use olive oil for a lower fat content.
