Christmas Biscotti [rate this recipe]
Ingredients: 3/4 cup pistachios 3/4 cup dried cranberries 2 cups regular flour 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 large egg 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 1 teaspoon almond extract White chocolate baking bar or chips
Directions: Place cranberries in a cup and add just enough boiling water to cover. Let stand for several minutes. Place oven rack in center of oven, preheat to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and butter the foil. In a large bowl, place flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In a small bowl whisk together the honey, oil, whole egg, egg yolk, orange peel and almond extract to blend. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until the dough begins to hold together. If the dough seems to be dry and even firm, let stand 10 minutes or so to soften. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Add pistachios and well drained cranberries. Knead to work these into the dough evenly. Divide dough in half. Roll eachhalf into a 12 inch long, 2 inch wide log. Place logs on prepared baking sheet, about 4 inches apart. Bake until firm to touch and dark brown, about 40 minutes. Don't panic if the logs crack, because they often do. Cool logs on sheet on a rack for 15 minutes. Transfer to work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2 inch slsices. Place cut side down on same baking sheet and bake until light brown and dry, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheet on rack again. Store airtight. Some biscotti recipes say to bake the cookies standing the slices up, but I have never tried that. This makes about 4 dozen cookies. To garnish, drizzle a little melted white chocolate on one side.
