    Did these with coconut oil and added coriander and fresh grated ginger. They are fantastic! I used dried pineapple because it seemed to go better with ginger flavor. - 4/16/07

    I made them and used Chinese Five spice. I just had a problem with them being crumbly, AND eating too many. Yummy. Who needs the coffee! - 10/25/08

    I made this and added a few semi-sweet chocolate chips, next time I will add more spices. I really like a strong gingerbread flavor and this one was a little bland for me. This recipe could be adapted for a pumpkin pie spice biscotti, which I will also try! - 12/29/07

    would try again except not put so much ginger in it - it's too much for my taste - 11/6/10

    These were great! I added the dehydrated pineapple and other dried fruit. They were a big hit at my work bake sale! - 10/13/09

    Delicious!I took them to a family get-together and and they loved them. Might try using almonds instead of dried fruit to see if that works. - 5/24/09

    Just made these and they are great. I used the unsweetened applesauce and they are just sweet enough. I also liked including the whole wheat flour but I had to cut them a little thicker because they seemed to crumbly to cut 1/2 inch. - 4/8/07
