Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup Sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup White chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup Additional white chocolate for drizzle (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 7

Place the dough logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between them, as they will spread slightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

Step 10

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Step 11

Place the slices cut-side down back onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the biscotti over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

If desired, melt the additional white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled biscotti for added decoration. Allow the drizzle to set before serving or storing.

Step 14

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
