Cranberry and Almond Biscotti image

Ah the beauty of biscotti. You can't just chow down on a biscotti slice like any other cookie. Because of the nature of the biscotti (it is a very hard and dry cookie, meant to be dipped in coffee) you are forced to sit for a minute with a cup of coffee or tea and savor the biscotti and in the process relish in the joy of life...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c almond slices, toasted (i used trader joes)
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/4 c sugar

2 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c dried cranberries (i used trader joes orange essence cranberries)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 with rack in center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment (or you can do as I did and use the silpat for the first step).
  • 2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the baking powder, flour, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients; mix on medium low until combined to a sticky dough. Stir in, by hand, the almonds, cranberries and zest.
  • 3. Blending the nuts and cranberries and zest....
  • 4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Knead slightly. Shape into two 9" X 3 1/2" logs. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • 5. Bake until the dough sets, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on the pan for 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 275. Slice the dough on a diagonal into 1/2 pieces; place, cut side down, on the baking sheet (this time use a piece of parchment). Bake for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Sliced on diagonal...
  • 7. Turn the pieces over and bake for another 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Biscotti will keep for several weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
