I would not recommend this recipe. The biscotti turned out dry and crumbly.

These biscotti are a waste of time. They're bland and flavorless.

These biscotti are good, but not amazing. I think they need a little something extra.

I found these biscotti to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

These biscotti are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
