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.

Biscotti with Almonds, Cranberry, & Orange
This is another winning flavor combination for biscotti, and I’m sure you will enjoy it as much as my family does. The orange zest adds so much flavor to this and is a perfect complement to the craisins. Try this recipe with walnuts or pecans instead of almonds for a different flavor variation.
Ingredients
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup neutral oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup almonds roughly chopped
• 1 cup craisins
• zest from 1 large or 2 small oranges
• ½ tsp orange extract
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest in a large bowl and mix until well-blended.
4. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and add to egg mixture.
5. The dough will be heavy. Mix until well combined. If necessary, use your hands to combine thoroughly.
6. Add almonds and craisins and mix into the dough.
7. Divide dough into two equal pieces. Place sheet of parchment paper on sheet pan. Form each piece into a log the length of your cookie sheet and approximately ½ inch thick.
8. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Carefully transfer logs to wire racks until cool enough to handle.
9. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
10. Slice each log crosswise into roughly ½ inch slices. Place slices back on the cookie sheet.
