Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups dried cranberries
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup salted shelled natural pistachios
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water to make egg wash

Steps:

  • Soak cranberries in boiling hot water to cover in a small bowl until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, then pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 325F. Butter & flour a large baking sheet, knocking off excess flour Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda & powder & salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderate speed until combined well. Add eggs & vanilla and beat just until a dough forms. Add cranberries and pistachios and mix at low speed Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and knead several times. Halve dough, then form each half into a 13 by 2 inch slightly flattened log on banking sheet, using floured hands and spacing logs about 3 inches apart. Brush logs with egg wash. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool logs on baking sheet on a rack 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices with a serrated knife. Arrange slices, cut side down, in 1 layer on baking sheet (don't worry if slices touch each other). Bake in middle of oven turning once until golden and crisp. 20 - 25 minutes total. Biscotti keep in an airtight container at room temp 2 weeks.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti turned out really hard. I think I might have overbaked them.

I thought these biscotti were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I expected.

These biscotti are really dry. I had to dunk them in coffee to make them edible.

I had some trouble getting the biscotti to slice evenly. They kept crumbling.

These biscotti are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

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

These biscotti turned out amazing! The combination of cranberries and pistachios is perfect, and the biscotti are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy.
