Yes add them to boil last 10-15 minutes, warning I made a blue moon clone over 3 months ago with .75 oz of coriander and it was way too much IMO, really over powering, it's just now starting to drop out a little. I also used bittering orange peel, would use fresh Valencia orange peels or the sweet ones at your LHBS

Sorry...crush them
I've only used them once and that beer is still in secondary. I used 1 oz (there about) dried seed, whole, towards the end of boil. Going into primary, I could taste them. Going into secondary, I could taste them a little more.
Oh, I left them in for two weeks or so in primary and racked into secondary without them.

How big is the batch you are brewing? I did a 2 1/2 gallon batch with half an ounce and I might consider half an ounce in a 5 gallon batch if I do it again. There is no way I would put in a full ounce in 5 gallons and I certainly wouldn't want 2 ounces.

I have used 1 oz of crushed in a 5 gallon batch and it was fine. I would not use 2oz.

+1 to cracked not crushed. I just but them in a baggie and crack with a rolling pin.
Add them at 10-15 in the boil in a mesh bag so you can take them out. 1 oz is fine.
