Delicious Cranberry Almond Biscotti Recipe to Try

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almonds, chopped (preferably blanched)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon water (to adjust dough consistency if needed)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional orange zest.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract until well combined.

    Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped almonds and cranberries.

    Do not overmix to keep the biscotti light.
  5. Shape and Bake

    Form the dough into a log shape on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.

    Use wet hands to shape the dough easily.
  6. Cool and Slice

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice the log into 1/2-inch pieces.

    Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
  7. Final Bake

    Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the biscotti to cool completely before serving. Enjoy with coffee or tea!

    Store in an airtight container for freshness.
