i made this recipe last night and everyone liked it. i could not get the dry dough to form a ball without falling apart so i added a little water which added on to the baking time. i will make this again.

I've never made Biscotti before so after reading the recipe I was concerned about not having enough wet ingredients so I used a cereal bowl to mix the zest and oil together, then added the eggs and mixed well. In a medium bowl I poured the lemon cake mix and created a trough then slowly added the wet ingredients. Using a small rubber spatula, the dough worked into a rough ball quickly. I didn't use my hands until forming it on the pan. Enough dry ingredients was left to scrape onto the dough ball to easily work with the dough. I didn't find this nearly as sticky as a biscuit dough. I followed rest of directions as given. Very flavorful.

This recipe has the potential to be good, I just made it to the exact specifications and I'm finding that the mixture was too sticky and moist for biscotti. I think the next time I make it I am going to add some all-purpose flour to thicken the dough. Though the finished product didn't end up turning out right, the bars are very flavorful and delicious! I will definitely try again because I know they will end up being great after a few tweaks! Plus with few ingredients and the easy recipe its a no-brainer for any baker new to pro!
