How to make Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti
Full printable recipe card below!
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the sugar, butter and salt. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Add eggs, 1 at a time and mix until just combined.
Step 5
With the mixer on low, slowlly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in cranberries and pistachios.
Step 6
On the prepared baking sheet, form the dough into a log 12-inches long, 3-inches wide. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool complete, about 30 minutes.
Step 7
Once cooled, place on a large cutting board, and use a sharp serrated knife to cut into 3/4-inch pieces. You want to cut across the shorter end, so your pieces will be about 3/4-inch x 4-inches. Place the biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut-side down and bake again for 15 minutes, until golden. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
Step 8
Once cooled, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and then heat an additional 15 seconds until mostly melted. Stir until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate into a wide, shallow dish that is large enough to lay the biscotti in, but not too large that the chocolate will spread out too much to get a good amount of coverage when dipped in.
Step 9
Lay out a large piece of wax paper. Dip the bottom of each piece of biscotti in the white chocolate, transfer to wax paper and allow to cool and set.
