Mel… You MEASURED it inaccurately, then. Please READ… What you are saying. If you WEIGHED 1 and 3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon and got 241g, that would be MORE FLOUR than the 218g that I say goes into the dough. Which would make it MUCH DRIER.

Please look on your flour label. All purpose flour is 120g per cup.

The MOST accurate way to measure flour is BY WEIGHT. The next is SPOON & LEVEL.

I have NO clue where you are getting 241g from. If you can explain that to me, maybe I can understand a BIT more, but my recipe is CORRECT.

Lynn…
Many comments are telling you the mixture…is TOO dry (too much flour)
I WEIGHED 1,3\4 cups, plus 1 T and it’s 241 grams not 218.
One of your other recipes uses 218 GRAMS.
I always weigh ingredients because I bake bread and it’s more accurate.

Hi, Mel. I’m very confused. 1 and 3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon of flour is 218g.

1 cup = 120g
3/4 cup = 90g
1 Tablespoon = 7.5g

So I guess TECHNICALLY it’s 217.5g, but… We round up 🙂

And another reason I’m confused is that with 218g, there’d be less flour than with your 241g (which I actually have no clue from where you’re getting that number) which would make a… Wetter dough.

Hi, Kylie– there is nothing missing from the recipe. I have 10+ biscotti recipes on my site, and they all have the same base, and I make these biscotti all the time, as they’re my favorite cookie. I explain in the recipe that the dough is crumbly, and it will come together when you press it together into a slab. Some people report the same as you, but most have no issue. I’m unsure how to troubleshoot since I’m not there with you, and I never have issues. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but if you didn’t try to press the dough together, as I say you need to do in order to bring it all together, then I would say press it together and you’ll find it works just fine.

I get this comment often enough that I made a reel about biscotti– I use the same base for all of my biscotti, which is a recipe I make more than anything else on my site. You can see the reel here (https://www.instagram.com/reel/CU3Tdb5AEr5/). I promise there is enough moisture!

Same here. I added extra wet ingredients.

Bummer to hear that, Yianna! I have several biscotti recipes on my blog and I make them quite frequently. In fact, I just made a new biscotti recipe to share in a couple weeks and took a video to show how simple it is. I checked the recipe again to be sure, and there are no ingredients left out. I assure you the recipe works and yields 12 cookies (16, actually, if you count the little nubs that you cut off of the edges).
