How to Make Chocolate And Cranberry Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup ground almonds, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar with a handheld or standing mixer on medium-high speed until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  5. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry flour mixture.
  7. Beat until just combined and no traces of flour remain.
  8. Gently stir in 1 cup dried cranberries.
  9. (Note: The dough will be very wet and sticky.)
  10. Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form a thick line in the center.
  11. Wet your hands and pat the dough into a 9x3-inch rectangle.
  12. Bake for 25 minutes, or until puffed and dry to the touch.
  13. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
  14. Keep the oven on.
  15. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and transfer the rectangle to a cutting board.
  16. Cut crosswise into ⅓-inch-thick slices.
  17. Arrange slices flat on an unlined baking sheet.
  18. Bake for 10 minutes.
  19. Flip slices and bake for another 10 minutes, until golden brown and dry.
  20. Let cool completely on a wire rack. (Cookies will crisp as they cool.)
  21. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate (optional).
