A perfect holiday cookie! You can substitute dried cherries for the cranberries, use a good quality white chocolate for this, I use Lindt or Baker's. These can be made up to 1 week ahead, or freeze in an air tight container. I highly suggest to double this recipe, these are wonderful biscotti!

Yield 30 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar (can use another 1/4 cup more for a sweeter taste)
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1/2-3/4 cup almonds (chopped or sliced)
1 egg white
8 ounces white chocolate

Steps:

Set oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl whisk together flour with baking powder and salt.
Using an electric mixer beat the butter, sugar and eggs with extract until well blended (about 4 minutes).
Add in the flour mixture, then the cranberries and almonds; mix well to combine.
Divide the dough in half.
With floured hands shape the dough in about 9 x 2-inch logs.
Transfer the logs to prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
In a small bowl whisk the egg white until foamy, the brush the egg white on top and sides of each log.
Bake the logs until golden brown, about 35 minutes (the logs will spread when baked).
Cool completely in the baking pan (leave the oven heat on to 350 degrees).
Transfer the logs to a work surface.
Shake out any crumbs from the parchment paper, then place back on the baking sheet with clean-side facing upwards.
Using a serrated knife, sliced the logs on diagonal about 1/2 - 3/4-inches.
Arrange the sliced biscotti cut side down on the same baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes; turn the biscotti over and bake for another 5 minutes, just until beginning to lightly brown.
Transfer biscotti to a rack to cool.
For the glaze: stir the white chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water until smooth.
Remove from over the water.
Using a fork, drizzle chocolate over biscotti.
Let stand until chocolate sets (about 30 minutes).

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY ALMOND BISCOTTI

White Chocolate Cranberry Almond Biscotti image

This is a super easy and very yummy biscotti recipe that has a hint of orange for brightness. Drizzle the biscotti with melted white chocolate, dip one end in white chocolate, or mix white chocolate chips into the batter. Try adding a little orange extract for an extra zing. Try brushing the top of your biscotti logs (before baking) with a wisked egg and sprinkling with turbinado sugar.

Time 1h5m

Yield 18-24 pieces, 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 egg white
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 1/4 cups almonds (try whole or slivered)
white chocolate chips, for melting

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together butter, sugar, orange zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs and egg white one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture.
Stir in the dried cranberries, and almonds.
Spray your hands with cooking spray (so the dough doesn't stick) and divide the dough into halves. Form each half into a flattish log and arrange logs at least 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven, or until pale gold.
Allow logs to cool on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle. On a cutting board, cut logs crosswise on a diagonal into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange on baking sheet.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden. Transfer biscotti to wire racks, and cool completely. Drizzle or dip in melted white chocolate.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your biscotti will be. Look for fresh, flavorful cranberries and almonds, and use real white chocolate chips.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Bake the biscotti twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help them get crispy and golden brown.
Let the biscotti cool completely before storing: This will help them stay crisp.
