Description

These Cranberry Orange Biscotti are a delightful treat with a perfect balance of sweetness and tangy flavor. The crunchy texture makes them ideal for dipping in coffee or enjoying on their own.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins:

  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in orange zest and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Fold in cranberries and almonds if using.
  6. Shape and bake: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 12-inch log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden. Cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Slice and bake again: Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces. Bake for 10–12 minutes per side until crisp.
  8. Cool and serve: Cool the biscotti on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider drizzling or dipping the biscotti in white chocolate once cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
