How to Make Cranberry Pistachio 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 sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the cranberries and pistachios.
  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 30 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  9. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  10. Arrange the slices, cut side down, back on the baking sheet.
  11. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
