These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and these biscotti are a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but these biscotti are still really good. The pistachios add a nice nutty flavor.

I love the flavor of these biscotti, but they're a little too hard for my teeth. I might try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These biscotti are a bit dry for my taste. I would try adding a little bit of butter or oil to the dough next time.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti to slice evenly. I think I needed to chill the dough for longer before slicing it.

These biscotti are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I used dried cherries instead of cranberries and they turned out great. I also added a little bit of orange zest to the dough.
