I made these the other day and they turned out great - very authentic-tasting / looking - rivals the best gluten full versions. Editors: please add in your instructions that the dough will be sticky (not just "soft"). I got concerned about the stickiness as I was making them. I found out through an internet search that this dough is meant to be on the sticky-side. Some even mentioned to oil one's hands before shaping to avoid wasting dough.

I have come back to this website for this recipe to make these biscotti again.
They are lovely with a coffee and at around 75 calories a biscuit a nice treat that doesn't cost too many calories.
Not difficult to make and much easier to handle the dough than other recipes I've tried.
