Festive Cranberry and Date Biscotti
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and almond extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped dates, and sliced almonds.
-
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, spacing them apart.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
-
Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden.
-
Remove from the oven and transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
