Cranberry Orange Biscotti
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp orange zest zest from 1 orange
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 oz. white chocolate not white chips or it doesn't melt good
Instructions
- 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 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 25-30 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)

These came out wonderfully. The orange flavor is outstanding. Of course I get to cheat and take an orange off my tree so that I have fresh squeezed juice and fresh zest of course. That would white Chocolate drizzle just really top them off. I just finished eating one with a cuppa coffee as my breakfast thank you for this recipe. I posted a picture and I this comment at the end of the recipe also.
Can these be frozen to gift later? If so for how long and any suggestions for keeping fresh?
they should freeze well
The biscotti is delicious. Why would mine have been really crumbly when I sliced it for the second bake?
Thanks
