Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.75 cup Whole almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the toasted almonds and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and with floured hands, shape it into a flat log about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide.
Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it is firm and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the log from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick pieces.
Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 10-12 minutes. Flip the slices over and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until both sides are lightly golden and crisp.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
