Need a holiday treat that's not overly sweet? Sharon Martin of Manistee, Michigan has an answer with her Dried Cherry Biscotti. The cherries and almonds add color and texture and a dusting of powdered sugar dress these up. CW taste testers noted these biscotti were not as hard and crunchy as some.

The biscotti were good, but I found them to be a bit too sweet. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the biscotti turned out perfectly. They were so good that I ate half of them before I could even give them away as gifts.

These biscotti were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The dried cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the dough.
