Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup slivered almonds lightly toasted
- 8 ounces white chocolate
- 1 cup dried cranberries finely chopped
- 1 cup pistachios finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small skillet over medium heat toast your slivered almonds for approximately 3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
- In a bowl combine the dry ingredients; all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together well and set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and mix together using the paddle attachment until it is creamy.
- Add the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract and continue mixing for 30 seconds or until the mixture comes together.
- Slowly add the mixed dry ingredients to mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until the flour eggs, and butter come together to form a dough.
- Stir in the almond slices.
- Divide the dough in half and place it on a parchment paper -lined baking sheet.
- Form each half into a 2-3 inch-wide log that is about 3/4-inch-tall.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough is firm but still has a little bit of give when you press on it.
- Once it is done baking let the dough cool for 20 minutes. Then using a serrated knife cut the log diagonally into 1-inch wide slices.
- Place the slices back on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes on each side until they are crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the biscotti cools chop up the chocolate and melt it in the microwave heating it for 15 seconds at a time until it is smooth.
- Once the biscotti has cooled dip the flat edge (the bottom when it was baking) into the chocolate and then sprinkle with cranberries and pistachios.
- Let the chocolate firm up and then you're ready to enjoy!
