Categories     Cookies

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled), plus more for work surface + hands
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar (I prefer light here)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3 large eggs
1 Tablespoon (15ml) canola or vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (75g) pistachios
3/4 cup (120g) dried cranberries
egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
8 - 10 (226g - 282g) ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together. Pour into the flour/butter mixture and gently mix together until everything is just barely moistened. Fold in the pistachios and dried cranberries.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead lightly until the dough is soft and slightly sticky, about 8-10 times. If it's uncontrollably sticky, knead 1-2 more Tablespoon(s) of flour into the dough. Divide the dough in two and place each half onto a baking sheet. Shape each half into an 8-9 inch long roll, patting down until each is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top and sides of each biscotti slab with egg wash.
  • Bake in batches (or together) for 25-26 minutes, or until the top and sides of the biscotti slabs are lightly browned. Remove from the oven, but do not turn off the heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Once the slabs are cool enough to handle, cut each into 1 inch thick slices. Set slices cut sides upright, ¼ inch apart, on the baking sheets. Return to the oven to continue baking for 8 minutes. Turn biscotti over and bake other side for 8 minutes. The cookies will be slightly soft in the centers with harder edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dipping in white chocolate. The biscotti becomes crunchy as it cools. Save the baking sheets for the next step.
  • Melt the chopped white chocolate in a double boiler or (carefully!) use the microwave. For the microwave, place the white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 15 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Dip each biscotti cookie in the melted chocolate and place back onto the baking sheets. Allow chocolate to set in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
  • Biscotti will stay fresh covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality white chocolate will have a creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor.
  • Toast the pistachios before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use fresh cranberries for the best results. Fresh cranberries are tart and juicy, and they add a nice pop of color to the biscotti.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing them. This will help them to hold their shape.
