This is my go-to recipe for biscotti! Works every time!! Press the dough together and presto!

Hi, Jessica– you did not read the troubleshooting tips nor did you watch the video.

Here is an excerpt from the troubleshooting section:
“The biggest complaint I get from folks making my biscotti recipes is that there is not enough moisture in the dough to bring it together. Trust me, there is. Your mixture will be crumbly when you dump it out, but pressing it together will work just fine. This is like pie dough— lots of pieces all over the place, but when pressed together, make a cohesive dough.”

Then there is the video, where you can see that yes, it is a crumbly dough, but biscotti is a traditionally crumbly cookie and this dough DOES come together. I assure you it is not one hard lump. Thanks for leaving your feedback.

Is the worst this is the worst recipe ever it was a waste of time and ingredients and I wish I had read the other reviews first! Yes I got it to come together but you don’t need flour on your hands because it’s one hard lump! When looking at other snickerdoodle biscotti recipes it does not even compare to this there is more butter as there should be. This was just awful you need to redo your recipes.

Hey, Cg– I can tell by your comment that you did not read the instructions carefully, did not watch the video I linked in the instructions, nor read the troubleshooting tips. In fact, the following paragraph is in the post as well as the recipe card:

“The biggest complaint I get from folks making my biscotti recipes is that there is not enough moisture in the dough to bring it together. Trust me, there is. Your mixture will be crumbly when you dump it out, but pressing it together will work just fine. This is like pie dough— lots of pieces all over the place, but when pressed together, make a cohesive dough.”

Thanks for giving it a try, but be sure to read through a recipe and all of the notes and materials before starting to ensure success.

What a disaster!
The dough did not come together at all.
Save your ingredients.

In reply to Jjk.

Bummer to hear this didn’t work for you– I assure you that all of my biscotti recipes work. I make them all the time, and I promise that I would not publish a recipe that didn’t work. In general, doubling or halving or otherwise adjusting a recipe’s yield can never promise the same results, and I never double biscotti because it can get too dry. I’ll be revisiting this recipe soon and adjusting the instructions to reflect clearer specifications.

In reply to Claire.

Claire, I too had issues with this recipe. When doubled and compared to a traditional biscotti recipe, this has too much flour and I’ve never seen a recipe with both oil and butter. If I were to do it again, I’d follow the recipe of a vanilla biscotti recipe and add cinnamon. I’m hoping I can salvage this batch, but it definitely isn’t going to make it to my biscotti gift baskets.

First time making (and eating) biscotti and these were easy in my opinion and tasted amazing. Not sure if my thickness\crispness was right on but I plan to keep trying!
