Dried Cranberry And White Chocolate Biscotti Recipes

DRIED CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, whisk to blend. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar, butter, eggs and almond extract until well blended and smooth. Mix in the flour, then the dried cranberries.
• Divide the dough in half on the prepared baking sheet, Shape each half into a log roughly 3 inches wide and 9 inches long.
• Whisk the egg white in a small bowl until foamy, and lightly brush the tops and sides of both logs (this glaze will ensure a golden brown color during baking).
• Bake logs until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack (still in the pan), for about 15 minutes, maintaining the oven temperature.
• If using a silpat, transfer each log, one at a time to a cutting board, and slice into pieces about 1 1/2 inches wide. If using parchment paper, slice directly on the baking sheet. Place the pieces on the baking sheet back into the log form, with just enough room between each piece to let the heat circulate.
• Place back into the oven and bake until golden, 10-15 minutes. (I usually do about 12 minutes). Let cool completely on a wire rack, still in the pan.
• While cooling, place the chopped white chocolate in a bowl, set over a barely simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled biscotti. Let stand until the chocolate is set, and serve!
