How to Make Festive Dried Fruit Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup melted white chocolate chips, ½ cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange extract until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped dried cranberries, ½ cup chopped dried apricots, ½ cup chopped dried cherries, and 1 cup all-purpose flour until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  6. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log about 12-14 inches long and 2 inches wide, placing them 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  9. Remove biscotti from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Using a serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into ½-inch thick biscotti.
  11. Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  12. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
