Recipe: Cranberry Almond Biscotti

This recipe is simple to throw togetherm and you likely have lost of the ingredients on hand already. Experiment with different types of flour. We use organic all-purpose or Jovial Einkorn flour, but this recipe works well with others.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4cup raw cane sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 1 3/4cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cup raw almonds

Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°

Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together oil and sugar until well blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in the eggs.

Step 3: Combine flour, salt, and baking powder; gradually stir into egg mixture

Step 4: Roughly chop the nuts, then add by hand with the cranberries.

Step 5: Divide dough in half. Form two logs (12×2 inches) on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Dough may be sticky; wet hands with cool water to handle dough more easily.

Step 7: Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven or until logs are light brown. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 275°.

Step 8: Cut logs on diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Lay on sides on parchment-covered cookie sheet. Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until dry. Cool.
