Homemade Biscotti gets a serious boost of citrus flavor with bright orange zest and chewy dried cranberries. Cranberry Orange Biscotti makes any coffee break more delicious!
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 oranges, zested (divided)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup white chocolate, melted
- 1 Tablespoon coarse sugar (or granulated), for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In large mixing bowl, beat butter and ¾ cup sugar until combined. Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Beat in zest of one orange. Slow add flour and baking powder. Fold in dried cranberries.
- On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, shape dough into a 12 inch by 4 inch log, patting evenly. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and using a serrated knife, slice biscotti into ¾-inch slices. Arrange upright on baking sheet and return to oven. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on wire rack.
- In small bowl mix zest of one orange with remaining 1 Tablespoon of coarse sugar (or granulated). Drizzle white chocolate on cooled biscotti and immediately sprinkle with orange sugar. Allow to set (about 15 minutes).
- Store in air tight container or ziploc bag. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use my homemade vanilla extract for delicious flavor.
- Storing: Biscotti keeps well in a covered container or ziploc freezer bag. I tend to store mine in a ziploc bag with all the air pressed out. It has lasted for over a week. It probably could last longer, but I eat it all up before I can test that theory!
- Pressing. Use your fingers to pat the dough evenly into the pan so the top of the biscotti turn out smooth and evenly baked.
- Toppings. I love the coarse sugar and melted white chocolate on these. Candied Orange Peel cut up into small pieces would be delicious on these as well.
