These look delicious and reminds me of the holidays when my aunts and mother would make their biscottis

I’ve made lots of biscotti in my time, but these look especially good. I’ll be trying YOUR version this week, maybe they’ll make my Christmas cookies list. Just discovered your blog it looks soooo interesting, I’ll be visiting often.

Thanks for your response, if you compare the recipes side by side, you will note the need to whisk dry ingredients (to fully incorporate the baking powder), the sizes of the logs, and also how to shape the logs (Gina shows the rolling process and squeezing the ends – a big “aha” moment for me!). By only having 2 big logs instead of 5, my 1st bake time was insufficient, the cookies were underbaked, and unfortunately not corrected during the second bake. No worries, we are snacking on these “ugly” ones at home and making a second batch for xmas day! Buon Natale!

@Ariana, I’m sorry it didn’t go well for you. I did write “sift” in my directions for the dry ingredients – that should be akin to whisking or better :) My notes about the recipe weren’t clear you’ll have two sheets of logs, I guess – I’ll add something. This recipe isn’t very sensitive to mixing time, so I’d be curious to see what happened to your biscotti. Glad you’re trying again!
