Directions

Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Add Cranberries and Almonds – Gently (or roughly 😎) fold in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds.
Shape the Dough – On the prepared baking sheet, form the dough into a flat log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.
First Bake – Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Slice and Second Bake – Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Cool and Serve – Let the biscotti cool completely before serving.
Enjoy ✨

Notes

Crunch – For crunchier biscotti, bake for an extra 2-3 minutes during the second bake. For a softer texture, reduce baking time slightly.
Storing – Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
Nuts – Substitute almonds with pistachios or walnuts for a different flavor profile.
Sticky Dough – The dough may be sticky; lightly flour your hands when shaping the log for easier handling.
