Cranberry and almond biscotti is a delightful Italian cookie that combines the tartness of dried cranberries with the crunch of almonds. Perfect for dipping in coffee or enjoying as a standalone treat, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results every time.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until well combined.

3. Add Cranberries and Almonds: Stir in the dried cranberries and roughly chopped almonds into the flour mixture until they are evenly distributed.

4. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough might be slightly sticky, but it should be manageable.

6. Form the Dough: Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a log approximately 12 inches (30 cm) long and 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) wide. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.

7. First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm to the touch and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

8. Slice the Biscotti: Once the log is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the log diagonally into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices.

9. Second Bake: Arrange the slices cut-side down back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning the slices over halfway through baking, until the biscotti are dry and crisp.

10. Cool and Store: Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container.

Tips:

- Ensure that the dough is well mixed to evenly distribute the cranberries and almonds.

- For ease of cutting, allow the biscotti logs to cool slightly after the first bake.

- Use a sharp, serrated knife to slice the logs into individual biscotti to prevent crumbling.

- If you prefer a softer biscotti, reduce the second baking time slightly.

- Store biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

Your cranberry and almond biscotti are now ready to be enjoyed! These twice-baked treats are perfect for sharing with friends and family or savoring with a warm beverage. Happy baking!
