Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the toasted slivered almonds and dried cranberries.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape the dough into a log about 10 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
- Bake the log for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the log from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for another 10-15 minutes per side until dry and crisp. Let cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip one end of each cooled biscotti into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off.
- Place the dipped biscotti on parchment paper to set completely.
Notes
- Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor.
- Ensure the first bake is complete before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store the finished biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature.
