Description
I modified a recipe to make this a darker biscotti. For a richer almond flavor, use almond extract instead of the vanilla.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 egg whites
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup sweetened-dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk together eggs
- egg whites
- and vanilla or almond extract in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients
- mixing just until moist
- using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add dried cranberries and almonds; mix thoroughly.
- On floured surface
- divide batter in half and pat each half into a log approximately 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes or until firm. Cool on a wire rack about 10 minutes
- or until cool enough to handle.
- Cut biscotti on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place cut biscotti upright on a cookie sheet
- spacing them about an inch apart
- and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Let cool and store in a loosely covered container.
