Biscotti Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cream Butter and Eggs

   In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture. Mix until just combined.

5. 5

   Add Cranberries and Nuts

   Fold in the chopped cranberries, orange zest, and slivered almonds until evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Shape the Dough

   Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet about 4 inches apart.

7. 7

   Bake the Logs

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

   Slice the Biscotti

   Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

   Second Bake

   Return the sliced biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and cool completely.
