Time 1h10m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 1/4 cups flour, all-purpose
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup raw pistachio nut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter and flour a baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest until blended.
  • In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cloves and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until blended.
  • Stir in cranberries and pistachios.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • One at a time, place the 2 dough portions on the prepared baking sheet and form each into a log about 1/2 inch high, 1 1/2 inches wide and 14 inches long.
  • Space logs at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the logs for 25-30 minutes or until set and light brown.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let cool 6-8 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Using a very sharp knife, cut the logs in the diagonal into slices 3/8 inch thick.
  • Stand the slices upright on the baking sheet and return the sheet to the oven for 15 minutes to dry the cookies thoroughly.
  • Transfer to racks to cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscotti turned out burnt. I think the oven temperature was too high.

These biscotti are way too hard. I could barely bite into them.

I was disappointed with these biscotti. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These biscotti took a lot longer to make than I expected. I think the recipe overestimates how quickly they can be made.

I found this recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions weren't very clear, and I ended up making a few mistakes.

These biscotti are a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I still enjoyed these biscotti. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat flour. It makes the biscotti a little healthier, but they're still just as delicious.

These biscotti are the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. They're also very flavorful, thanks to the anise and orange zest.
