What to Eat with Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti ??

Cranberry pistachio biscotti are crisp, lightly sweet, and perfect for slow mornings or cozy afternoons. I love enjoying them dipped into banana milk coffee, which softens them just enough and brings out their flavors.

My kids like them with warm milk or hot cocoa, especially as a special treat.

Ingredients :

– All-purpose flour is the base of these biscotti and gives them structure so they bake up crisp without becoming too hard.

– Dried cranberries add a sweet-tart pop of flavor and a beautiful red color.

– Pistachios bring crunch, nuttiness, and that classic green color that makes these biscotti feel festive.

– Granulated sugar sweetens the biscotti.

– Eggs bind everything together.

– Butter or oil adds richness and keeps the biscotti from being overly dry.

How to Make Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti :

Step 1

First preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easy which is always a win.

Step 2

Next in a medium bowl whisk together the flour baking powder and salt. This helps everything mix evenly later. Set this bowl aside.
Then in a large bowl add the sugar eggs and vanilla. Stir until the mixture looks smooth and slightly pale. You can do this by hand with a spoon which makes it easy for kids to help.

Step 3

After that slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until a thick dough forms. It might feel stiff but that is exactly how biscotti dough should be.
Now fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios. Try to spread them evenly so every slice has a bit of both.

Step 4

Then lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a long flat log about 10 inches long. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the log for about 25 minutes until it is lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling step is important so the slices do not crumble.

Step 5

Once slightly cooled use a sharp knife to slice the log into pieces about ¾ inch thick. Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake again for 10 minutes then flip each slice and bake for another 10 minutes until the biscotti are dry and crisp. Let them cool completely before eating.
