Great texture and amazing flavor. This cookbook gives a basic biscotti recipe (almond biscotti), and then suggests two variations (chocolate-hazelnut and orange-anise). This particular version takes toasted anise seed and orange zest, and those flavors come through in a lovely and not overly assertive way.
This cookbook also had very nice instructions - it includes pictures of patting out the log, cutting the cookies, and the second baking. My husband prepared these to bring to his buddies at work - the instructions were clear and he had a stress-free baking experience.
I'd recommend this recipe for anyone. With its lower calorie (70) and fat content (only 4T butter and 2 eggs for 30 cookies), these delicious cookies could be prepared for any occasion.
