Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (zest from 1 orange)
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 oz. white chocolate (not white chips or it doesn't melt good)

Instruction

  • Place dried cranberries in a bowl and add boiling water for 2 minutes then drain well.
  • In a large bowl combine the sugar, orange juice, zest, and butter with a whisk until well mixed then add one egg at a time
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt
  • Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated
  • Add cranberries and mix well then chill dough for 30 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  • Spray hands with PAM then divide dough in half and shape into a 4"by 8" rectangle
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes (or until light golden brown and edges start to brown)
  • Place parchment paper on cooling rack for 15 minutes
  • Slice each log into 1/2-3/4" slices then place (cut side down) on cookie sheet (no paper) and bake again for about 8-10 minutes turning halfway through.
  • Biscotti should be crispy. Remove and cool.
  • In a small bowl place white chocolate and microwave on high stirring every 10 seconds until just melted - watch so it does not burn
  • Drizzle with a fork over one side of biscotti
  • Place in refrigerator to harden (I keep my biscotti in the refrigerator in an air tight container)
