I love citrus flavors in the cold months and these cookies are a very nice treat on a wintry day.
The orange flavor comes from orange zest, orange juice, and Grand Marnier (can substitute additional OJ for a non-alcoholic version). The recipe calls for 2 oranges to get 1/4 cup of zest but I needed a full three.
The dough is quite sticky so be sure your board for shaping the logs is well-floured. The recipe says that you will have enough dough for six 12-inch logs, but I came up with five logs.
Excellent with coffee, tea, or the cranberry liquor from the new New York Times cookbook (p. 36). A friend whipped up a batch of this liquor and was kind enough to share -- and it's delicious.
May try dipping some of these biscotti in bittersweet chocolate next time I make them. And there will be a next time.
