I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti turned out really flat. They didn't have any of the nice height that the ones in the pictures have.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscotti came out too crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The orange zest really balances out the tartness of the cranberries.
