How to Make Almond Cranberry Apricot Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the almonds, cranberries, and apricots.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  7. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  10. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  11. Place the slices cut-side down onto the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  12. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
