I made these the other night and they're lovely. My first attempt at biscotti — never knew it was so easy! I substituted ground almonds for the pecans and had everything else (even the cinnamon chips — I stock up on them because they rock!). Only suggestion I would make is to put dough on cookie sheet in TWO narrow rectangle shapes. I did one and when it came time to slice and bak a second time, the dough hadn't yet hardened so several pieces broke in the middle. If they weren't so long, I don't think that would have happened. But great recipe, 1Steve! Thanks!

These were very good, though my DH loved them even more than I did. They mixed up easily and made a bunch. I divided the dough in half and got about 24 good sized biscotti. I've had this recipe in my cookbook for ages and was thrilled to find the cinnamon chips while buying baking ingredients during the holidays. I will add more chocolate chips next time as they did seem to stand out, either that or drizzle on some melted chocolate. Thanks for sharing you delicious recipe. Made for Comfort Cafe Jan 09.

Thanks for posting this one, Steve! I don't think we can get cinnamon chips in Canada so I subbed more chocolate chips. That's the only ingredient change I made. Also, I prefer regular sized biscotti, so I made my usual 2 logs (13" long by 2 1/2" wide). I only have a conventional oven so I baked them at 350 degrees for 25 min then another 20 minutes after slicing...they were perfect! I prefer crisp-hard biscotti as opposed to the rock-hard, MUST be dunked kind and these fit the bill. Thanks again. M&Mers

Ok.. yes... 5-star..BUT.. I made my 'rectangle' 5-inches x 10-inches. As AnnB said.. I would also split the dough and make two logs out of it. I used an 11x17 pan and used wet hands to shape the batter. If you want huge beautiful biscotti (like 1Steve says).. just make one loaf.. but.. I like to share with many coworkers and a dozen just won't cut it. So I would make 2 loaves side by side on a large cookie sheet. Oooohhhhh.. and how about dipping half in melted white chocolate?
