How to Make Dried Cherry Biscotti

  1. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating with an electric mixer until a dough forms.
  5. Stir in 1 cup dried cherries and 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few times.
  7. Using the greased baking sheet as a guide, divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flat log, approximately 9 inches long and 3 inches wide.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  11. On a cutting board, slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  12. Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, back on the baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 5 minutes.
  14. Flip the biscotti and bake for another 5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  15. Remove from baking sheet and cool completely on a wire rack.
  16. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. (Optional: Dip halfway in melted semi-sweet chocolate for an extra decadent treat!)
