Cranberry Almond Biscotti

First time making biscotti. I didn't realize how easy it is! I will definitely be making it again and experimenting with different flavours.



2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla (or almond extract)

3/4 cup sliced almonds

1 cup sweetened dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add almonds and cranberries. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla (or almond extract).

Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, mixing until moist, using an electric mixer on medium speed (although I just mixed by hand). Make sure to knead dough until well combined.

On floured surface, divide batter in half and pat each half into a 5 or 6" circle. Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes or until firm. While still warm, cut biscotti into 1/2" slices and place back on cookie sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Let cool and store in container.
