Best 10 White Chocolate Pistachio And Cranberry Biscotti Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLED CRANBERRY PISTACHIO BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix on low with the paddle attachment for 1 minute, until combined (if you're doing it by hand, just whisk to combine). Add the eggs and butter and mix on low until it is combined and clumps together. Mix in the orange zest, cranberries, and pistachios, just enough to distribute them.
• Scrape the dough out onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and flatten it out into a big rectangle. I like to do mine about 4 inches tall and 16 inches across (keep in mind it will expand as it bakes), but make it whatever dimensions you like.
• Bake for 35 minutes until the edges start to brown slightly. Turn the oven down to 325F and take the biscotti out. Let the biscotti rectangle cool on the pan for 15 minutes, then slice them up with a serrated knife vertically into 1/2 inch thicknesses. Let the knife do the work for you, and use light pressure so the cookies don't break (and if your dough tears, let them cool for 5 more minutes).
• Place the biscotti slices back onto the baking sheet cut side up and bake for 30 minutes, until they are golden brown and crunchy. Let the cookies cool completely, then use a fork to flick melted white chocolate all over the biscotti. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together. Pour into the flour/butter mixture and gently mix together until everything is just barely moistened. Fold in the pistachios and dried cranberries.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead lightly until the dough is soft and slightly sticky, about 8-10 times. If it's uncontrollably sticky, knead 1-2 more Tablespoon(s) of flour into the dough. Divide the dough in two and place each half onto a baking sheet. Shape each half into an 8-9 inch long roll, patting down until each is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top and sides of each biscotti slab with egg wash.
• Bake in batches (or together) for 25-26 minutes, or until the top and sides of the biscotti slabs are lightly browned. Remove from the oven, but do not turn off the heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Once the slabs are cool enough to handle, cut each into 1 inch thick slices. Set slices cut sides upright, ¼ inch apart, on the baking sheets. Return to the oven to continue baking for 8 minutes. Turn biscotti over and bake other side for 8 minutes. The cookies will be slightly soft in the centers with harder edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dipping in white chocolate. The biscotti becomes crunchy as it cools. Save the baking sheets for the next step.
• Melt the chopped white chocolate in a double boiler or (carefully!) use the microwave. For the microwave, place the white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 15 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Dip each biscotti cookie in the melted chocolate and place back onto the baking sheets. Allow chocolate to set in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
• Biscotti will stay fresh covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
