Which flour is best for biscotti?
I tend to use the King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten free flour. I find it to be the best for cookies, biscotti, and cake. Pie crust is a different story but for the sake of biscotti and for this recipe, I definitely advise King Arthur.
How do you make gluten free cookies (and biscotti) not fall apart?
It really is making sure you are using the right flour, levels of baking soda (or powder) and liquid to a recipe. I advise for this recipe using King Arthur as that is what I used, and remember when you are baking, all gluten free flour mixes will yield different results!
Troubleshooting: How can I make my biscotti less hard? Why did my biscotti spread?
Your biscotti could be too hard for two reasons: 1) the mixture was too stiff and did not have enough liquid in it, and or 2) you have baked it too long or at too high of a heat.
The reason for your biscotti spreading could be that you put too much liquid into your mixture, forgot baking soda, or simply forgot an ingredient! Typically, biscotti is a stiff dough and it is not one too spread so long as you follow the recipe!
Storage Tips:
The biscotti will keep in an airtight container on the counter for 5 days - 1 week. If you wish to freeze it, that is totally fine, just mark a date on the container. They should keep for around 3 months!

These heath biscotti will satisfy your sweet craving!

I've made dozens of biscotti recipes and this one is a winner. The Heath bits really elevate a more basic chocolate chip cookie/biscotti. Try adding a tablespoon or two of Kahlua to the batter to really up the flavor profile.
