  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir in the cranberries and almonds.
    2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Flour your hands so that the dough won’t stick to them, and divide the dough into 3 equal 8x2x3/4-inch logs. Place one log on the baking sheet and bake 24 minutes or until firm and dry to touch. Remove from oven.
    3. Reduce oven to 325°F. Transfer baked log to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes or until dry and dark. Transfer to racks; cool. Repeat with the other two logs.
    4. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Dip each biscotti into the chocolate, at an angle, coating the end. Return to a cooled baking sheet and chill about 20 minutes or until chocolate is set.
