I like mine with a little orange and lemon zest thrown in. I also throw in some dried sweetened cranberries and slivered almonds or pistachios.

Biscotti rules so much.

I'm making it as we speak and it smells out of this world! The batter was awesome too! One question, when do you add the almond extract? I didn't add it on this batch. I added sliced almonds instead.

I add it with the sugar and butter after they have been creamed, the almond extract is mainly for smell.
