Cranberry Orange Biscotti
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (6 ounce) package sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®), or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3
Mix the butter and sugar in a bowl until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
4
Add eggs, orange zest, and both types of extract to the mixture, blending until well combined.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to create a dry mixture.
6
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you form a stiff, dough-like consistency.
7
Add sweetened cranberries to the dough and blend until evenly distributed.
8
Shape the dough into a ball, cut it in half, and form each half into a log shape.
9
Arrange the logs on the prepared baking sheet in a neat and orderly fashion.
10
Bake the logs in the preheated oven until they are lightly browned around the edges, taking approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
11
Allow the logs to cool completely on wire racks before slicing and serving.
12
Slice the cooled biscotti logs into thin, diagonal slices and lay them flat on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
13
Bake the biscotti slices until crispy and lightly golden brown, taking around 7 minutes to achieve the desired texture.
