Delicious Italian Biscotti recipe that tastes like a cup of fresh cappuccino. Great as a Christmas gift too. Just wrap a biscotto in cellophane and tie with a bow.

Great recipe! I did not have an convection oven, so instead of upping the time, I just decreased the size of the biscotti, and it turned out crispy and delicious! I would say that if you don't have the cinnamon chips, up the cinnamon by another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon...mine came out a little non-cinnamon tasting! They're still delish though! Thanks for posting!

    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!

    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?
