White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

Your morning coffee will forever be lonely without one of these crunchy, almond flavored biscotti. 

White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

Using a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Scrape down the bowl and add the eggs and almond extract. On low speed, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Once combined, add the cranberries and white chocolate. 

Shape the dough into a rectangle - 2 1/2in wide, 1/2in high. Place the dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 35 minutes. Cool completely.

Using an electric knife, cut the cookie loaf into 1/2in slices. Place the slices onto a cookie sheet cut side down. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip each of the cookies and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes. Cool completely.

Makes about 30 cookies

Notes from the Chef

-Biscotti are best enjoyed with coffee, tea, or milk - you need a little something to soften the cookies
