Ingredients:
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
¼ cup light olive oil
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon almond extract
-
2 large eggs
-
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 ½ cups pistachio nuts (No Shell. You must peal.)
-
½ cup dried cranberries
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix sugar and oil until well blended. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts, then beat in the eggs.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir this mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Carefully fold in the pistachios and cranberries by hand.
Step 3: Shape the Dough
Divide the dough in half and form each piece into a 12x2-inch log on the prepared cookie sheet. Tip: Wet your hands with cool water to handle the sticky dough easily.
Step 4: Bake the Logs
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the logs are light brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
Step 5: Slice and Bake Again
Slice the logs diagonally into ¾-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices cut-side down on the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes until dry and crispy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Let the biscotti cool completely before serving. Pair with coffee or your favorite sweet-savory toppings like cheese and honey.
Perfect Pairings
These biscotti pair wonderfully with coffee, tea, or a sweet-savory mix of cheese and honey.
Pair your cranberry-pistachio biscotti with a slice of Carrot Zucchini Cake for an extra burst of flavor in your afternoon tea.
