Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup pistachios chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chopped
- Optional Topping: 2 ounces white chocolate melted additional pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Line the baking sheet with parchment and preheat your oven to 350 F.
- Beat together butter, brown, and white sugar until fluffy.
- Add in eggs, vanilla, and almond extract until combined.
- Sift in flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
- Mix in cranberries, white chocolate, and pistachios.
- Add dough to the prepared bake sheet and shape it into an 8x4” log.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and dry. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Cut into 3⁄4” slices using a very sharp knife.
- Decrease oven temperature to 275 F and bake for another 10-15 minutes until completely dry. Make sure the biscotti doesn’t brown any further at this point. Your goal here is to essentially “dry them out”.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
