How to Make Almond Cranberry Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, 3 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the well.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Gently knead in 1 cup sliced almonds and 1 cup dried cherries for about 5 minutes until evenly distributed.
  6. Grease and flour two baking sheets at least 15 inches long.
  7. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 2 1/2-inch wide log, about 12-14 inches long. Place the logs 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 egg white. Brush the tops of the logs with the egg white.
  9. Bake for 50 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  11. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices, cut-side up, back onto the baking sheets.
  12. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  13. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
