  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before slicing: Chilling the dough will make it easier to slice and will help the biscotti hold their shape.
  • Bake the biscotti twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help them to dry out and become crispy.
