How to Make Cranberry Biscotti With Chocolate

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Wet your hands with cool water to help handle the slightly sticky dough.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
  12. Using a sharp knife, cut each log diagonally into ¾-inch thick slices.
  13. Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscotti are dry and crisp.
  15. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  16. Melt 6 ounces of your favorite dark chocolate. Dip one end or side of each biscotti into the melted chocolate.
  17. Place the dipped biscotti on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  18. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  19. Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
