Description

This recipe combines the nuttiness of pistachios with the sweetness of dried cranberries to create a crisp, twice-baked cookie.

Biscotti are known for their long-lasting freshness, making them an ideal holiday cookie or a thoughtful gift.

Ingredients
  • ¾ cups sugar
  • ¼ cups canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup chopped pistachios
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
Step-by-step Process
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, beat the sugar and oil until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and mix until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, mixing well. The dough will be stiff.
  6. Stir in the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries.
  7. Divide the dough in half and, with floured hands, shape each half into a 12x2 inch rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until set. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  9. Transfer the baked loaf to a cutting board and cut diagonally into ¾-inch slices using a serrated knife.
  10. Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake again for 12-14 minutes until firm.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.
