Cranberry Biscotti

Cranberry Biscotti

• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup unsalted pistachios or almonds, chopped
• ½ cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and extract. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add egg mixture, beating until a dough forms. Add nuts and cranberries, stirring to combine. Spoon dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Shape into one log or divide dough in half and shape into two logs. Bake 35-40 minutes or until firm. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Transfer logs to a cutting board and slice on the diagonal with a serrated knife. Arrange slices on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn slices over and bake another 10 minutes. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Yield: 36 biscotti
