Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, canola oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, and orange zest until well combined and slightly lightened in color. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently fold in the chopped dried cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a log approximately the length of your prepared baking sheets. Transfer the logs to the baking sheets, using the parchment paper to help flatten each log to about 1/2-inch thickness. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer the biscotti logs to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. This will make them easier to slice. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the cooled logs crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Arrange the biscotti slices back on the baking sheets, cut-side up. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted and crisp. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (14 minutes)

10

Step

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets before storing in an airtight container. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the dough.
Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits and nuts, such as dried cherries, pistachios, or almonds.
These biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

    These were a huge hit! I made them for a holiday gift exchange, and everyone raved about them.

  • Eleanore Hickle

    The orange zest adds such a lovely aroma and flavor. I'll definitely be making these again!

  • Lucious Hills

    I found that chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before shaping the logs made them easier to handle.
