Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.75 cups Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a rough dough begins to form.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips until they are evenly incorporated into the dough.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Divide the dough into two equal parts.

Step 7

Shape each portion of dough into a flattened log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.

Step 8

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 10

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.

Step 11

Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
