How to Make Cranberry Hazelnut Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar together until thick and pale yellow (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  3. Beat in the zest of 1 orange and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries and 1 cup chopped hazelnuts.
  7. Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log approximately 1 inch thick and 12 inches long.
  8. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg white. Brush the egg white over the top of each log.
  10. Sprinkle generously with an additional ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  11. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 320°F (160°C).
  12. Remove from oven and using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into ½-inch thick biscotti. Arrange the cut pieces, cut-side down, back onto the baking sheet.
  13. Bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
