Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar granulated white
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons orange zest the zest of 1 orange, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg large
- 2/3 cup dried cranberries
- white chocolate optional, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together flour and baking powder and set aside.
- Beat together the sugar, butter, zest and salt.
- Mix in the eggs, 1 at a time.
- Add the flour mixture and mix just until blended, then stir in the cranberries.
- Form the dough into a 12-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into slices (about ¾ inch thick).
- Arrange the biscotti on the baking sheet.
- Bake the biscotti again, for 15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
- Optional: Melt the white chocolate, dip the bottom of the biscotti and let cool and set.
Notes
- Mix it up!
- 1 tsp of vanilla or almond extract will boost the flavor, if you wish!
- Use raisins, dried blueberries, apricots - any kind of dried fruit works well! ( I love me some lemon/blueberry)
- Use lemon zest in place of the orange zest for a different flavor.
