Dried Cherry Biscotti image

Need a holiday treat that's not overly sweet? Sharon Martin of Manistee, Michigan has an answer with her Dried Cherry Biscotti. The cherries and almonds add color and texture and a dusting of powdered sugar dress these up. CW taste testers noted these biscotti were not as hard and crunchy as some.

I'm not a big fan of dried cherries, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The cherries add a nice tartness that really complements the sweetness of the dough.

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscotti turned out too dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These biscotti were a little too dry for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter to the dough next time.

These biscotti were a hit at my holiday party! They were crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor. The dried cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the dough. I will definitely be making these again!
