I’m so excited, I thought I was going to have to back out of Tuesdays with Dorie this week because of my oven being on the fritz. We are still waiting for parts, but the repairman disconnected my ignitors so I can use it in the meantime, yay!
So I’m a day late making the Lenox Almond Biscotti, but it was worth the wait. it’s truly delicious and I am a huge fan of almond flavored anything :) My father in law and I have been munching on them all day, I am sitting here with a cup of coffee right now! This dough made a nice chewy cookie too. When I cut off the ends as mentioned in the instructions of Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, I ate those and they were warm and chewy! Mmmmmm. I wanted to thank Gretchen of Canela & Comino for selecting this recipe, because to be honest, I probably never would have made it on my own. :)
Comments: Something I didn’t understand from the book was the soldier thing.I just can’t see how they would stand up vertically. I did lay mine on their sides and they came out fine. Something I noticed was that half of mine are still chewy. I think when I separated the two batches of dough, one was larger than the other, so one remained chewy. Doesn’t matter though, they are still very tasty!
Oh they look so yummy!!!! I am so making these with almonds next time.
These would be great chewy or crispy. In fact they were good as raw dough and at the first baked stage (ahem, I had to sample). I love the way yours look – isn’t almond flavor just the best? And your light is great in your pictures.

They look good. That’s another thing I really liked about them. It seems like you’re messing up while you’re making them, but they still turn out in the end. I really liked the almond flavoring, too–more than I thought I would. Glad you got to make them in the midst of oven woes.
These look so good Amanda! I’m gonna make these , I love anything chewy and I didn’t no you could make bisotti chewy!
I’m glad you liked them. I liked them too. Yours look delicious! I can’t wait to make these again. :)
I’m so glad you got a chance to bake these. They look yummy and made me wish I had more!
I love biscotti! These look great. Wish I had one with my coffee.
Coffee! coffee! coffee! its the only thing missing in those pictures they look soo yummy
I’m glad you enjoyed them and your last photo is amazing.
I love biscotti – these look delicious!
Hooray! I would have been going crazy!
Yeah! Oven = good! I completely didn’t understand the marching band thing and I took everything literally. Your biscotti look so delicious and pretty in your mug!
Congratulations on having an oven you can use again! Glad you liked these. I was like you — I’d have never made them on my own, and loved them once I did make them.
Your biscotti look great Amanda!!! Much nicer than mine! (haha, my crumbs that is!)Well done you and I am so glad your oven is fixed!
Your biscotti look amazing! I loved these!
So that’s what you were eating while we were on the phone, LOL!!
They look great!
How do I get the recipe?
Hey Barb! Yep that's what I was munching LOL If you go back to the post, look for the link to Canela & Comino. She has the recipe posted on her blog. Only one member of TWD is allowed to post the recipe, and that's the member who chose it. There's a new member and recipe each week.
They look delicious! OOOOhhhh, I bet that they would be great dipped in dark chocolate! ;)
I agree with Dulzura Magica…give me a big cup of coffee and a couple of these biscotti and I’d be all set! YUM!!
Thanks, Amanda! I saved this recipe and will be baking it SOON!
The biscotti looks wonderful and I hope your oven gets working better soon- great job making it nonetheless!
Glad you made the biscotti! Looks so divine!
Those look delicious! Love how the almond slices look in them! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!!
I loved making these! Yours look very tasty.
These look fabulous! Your photos are so pretty.
SOOOO funny you said that about the “soldier thing”. I didn’t get it either!! They look divine!! Great job!
I made these and they were DELICIOUS. Thanks for helping me get to the recipe. I’ll definitely be making these again.
Nice job on the biscotti–I love your striped mug. I hope your oven is all fixed soon.
They look beautiful! I think they were supposed to stand up just the way you made them. I thought that was a bit of a funny instruction on Dorie’s part! :)
