I love making these biscotti because they're so easy to customize. I've made them with different flavors of extract, different nuts, and even different dried fruits. They're always delicious!

I added some chopped dried cherries to these biscotti and they were delicious! The cherries added a little bit of sweetness and tartness that really complemented the anise flavor.

I made these biscotti with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as crispy and delicious as the regular version.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making a cake or cookies, and these biscotti are a great way to use them up.

I love that these biscotti are not too sweet. They're perfect for satisfying my sweet tooth without making me feel guilty.

These biscotti are a great make-ahead snack. I made a batch on Sunday and they were still fresh and delicious on Wednesday.

I accidentally used too much anise extract and the biscotti were a little too strong. Next time I'll be more careful with the measurements.

These biscotti were a little too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I still really enjoyed these biscotti. They were just the right amount of sweetness and crunch.

I've made these biscotti several times now and they always turn out great. They're a little time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

These biscotti were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with the perfect amount of anise flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
