How to make biscotti: Katie's Italian grandma shares recipe
My 90-year-old grandma is an exceptional woman. On top of her overall awesomeness, she makes THE BEST biscotti. She was kind enough to share the recipe for her favorite version: Orange Almond Biscotti.
Grandma Sally is 100% Italian, she's first generation Italian-American. Biscotti are Italian cookies, so I suppose making these so perfectly runs in her blood :)

Here's what you need to make about 3 dozen biscotti:
-2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-1 tsp. baking powder
-1/4 tsp. salt
-4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
-1 cup sugar
-2 eggs
-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
-1/4 tsp. almond extract
-3/4 cups chopped almonds
-2 Tbsp. orange zest
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and smooth, then add in the eggs one at a time. Then add in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Remove bowl from the electric mixer and then with a large wooden spoon, mix in the almond and orange zest. Add in the dry ingredients and fold them in until the dough is just combined.
Take the dough out of the bowl and halve it. Roll each into a log shape (about 13-by-2 inches long) and pat them down to smooth. Put them on a cookie sheet.
Bake (on the middle rack in the oven) for about 35 minutes, until the loaves are golden and just starting to crack on top.
Then remove from oven and let the loaves cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Cut each loaf diagonally into slices with a serrated knife then lay them cut side up back on the cookie sheet. Bake them for 7 minutes, then flip each biscotti slice, and bake for another 7 minutes.
The biscotti should be crispy and golden brown now! Let them cool completely and then ENJOY! :)
Biscotti are exceptionally good when eaten the same day they are baked, although they will keep for at least two weeks when stored in an airtight container. As my grandma says in the video--they're absolutely awesome to eat with you coffee in the morning :)

Holiday Biscotti
RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 55 min
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces good-quality white chocolate, chopped
Red and green sugar crystals, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.
Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.
