Cranberry Biscotti

2 ½ C flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ C sugar
1 ½ C butter at room temperature
2 large eggs
½ tsp. almond extract (I use vanilla)
1 ½ C dried cranberries
1 egg white



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and whisk to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs, butter and extract together. Mix in flour then dried cranberries.



Divide dough in half. Using floured hands, shape each piece into a log directly on the baking sheet. Whisk egg white and brush top and sides of each log. Bake 30-35 minutes until golden. Cool completely. Slice logs with serrated knife and bake 10 minutes on baking sheet without parchment. Turn biscotti over and bake an additional 5 minutes.



I have thought of additions to this recipe, like pecans, macadamia nuts, white choc chips, orange zest, but have never tried them because I like it so much just the way it is….but it would probably be yummy.
