Ingredients
2
cups
all purpose flour
1 1/2
tsp
baking powder
3/4
cup
granulated white sugar
1/2
cup
butter
softened
2
tsp
grated orange zest
(the zest of 1 orange)
1/4
tsp
salt
2
eggs
2/3
cup
dried cranberries
White chocolate for dipping
optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift together flour and baking powder and set aside.
Beat together the sugar, butter, zest and salt.
Mix in the eggs, 1 at a time.
Add the flour mixture and mix just until blended, then stir in the cranberries.
Form the dough into a 12-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the baking sheet.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
Using a serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into slices (about ¾ inch thick).
Arrange the biscotti on the baking sheet.
Bake the biscotti again, for 15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
Optional: Melt the white chocolate, dip the bottom of the biscotti and let cool and set.
Notes
Mix it up!
1 tsp of vanilla or almond extract will boost the flavor, if you wish!
Use raisins, dried blueberries, apricots - any kind of dried fruit works well! ( I love me some lemon/blueberry)
Use lemon zest in place of the orange zest for a different flavor.
