When I said the last ones were hard, I mean like stepping stones in an English garden. I'm talkin', "Please pass the biscotti! I need to hammer in this railroad spike!" I'm talkin' weapons of mass ear infection...The first bite sounded like the beginning of the William Tell overture. I think I stumbled over a VERY durable building material...etc., etc., etc...

If they're too hard, I can give you a recipe that includes butter. They won't keep quite as long, but they'll be a bit doughier. Glad your enjoying them! :) Hey Ben,

On my first attempt, I think I baked the cut biscotti a bit too long...I'm keeping a watchful eye on mister clock this time. I did notice that the dough seemed a bit dry both times. If these turn out to be hard also, I will put a teaspoon of water in the batter. I just put my second attempt at biscotti into the oven.
