Cranberry, Almond Biscotti Recipe ingredients

Cranberry Almond Biscotti Recipe Ingredients:

  • , whole
  • , sweetened & dried

How to make biscotti:

  1. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  2. In a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar, softened butter, lemon zest, and salt. Beat the mixture until it is creamed together, let the mixer run on medium-high for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the butter and egg blend.
  5. Just before the batter comes together, add the almonds and cranberries.
  6. Do not over-mix.
  7. Form the dough into a log about 10-inch long, 4-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. I use a silpat mat but parchment paper works as well.
  8. Bake at 350 until light golden, about 40 minutes.
  9. Cool at least 30 minutes.
  10. Use a long serrated slicing knife and use a pressing/sawing motion to slice the biscotti widthwise into 1/2 to 1-inch slices.
  11. Line the biscotti up on a metal cooling rack and place the cooling rack on a cookie sheet.
  12. Back into the 350 degree oven they go for another 20-30 minutes. I say 20-30 minutes because it depends on how thick you have sliced your biscotti. The thicker they are, the longer they are going to continue to bake.

Espresso for Nespresso At GIANT Food Stores

Two years ago, while in France, I learned about taking time to sit down and savor them moment with a cup of espresso and a bisotti. In France, people everywhere take time to stop what they are doing and enjoy what is in front of them. They don’t guzzle huge cups of sugared coffee while trying to do four other things. They stop, take the time to sip and savor what has been prepared for them. It was a great lesson I learned on that trip.

Espresso is a highly concentrated shot of intense coffee that pairs beautifully with the cranberry almond biscotti you just prepared. The dense cookie is perfect for dipping in the espresso.

Giant Food Stores are answering the demand for Nespresso compatible capsules of espresso with their own line of Italian-style blends of espresso. Allegrio, Fortissimo, Grandioso and Leggiero Decaffeineto are the 4 blends you will now be finding on Giant’s shelves.

Now I can have espresso and make espresso based drink recipes at home! That is GOOD I can savor every day!

Orange Chocolate, Almond Biscotti is one of my favorite cookies to serve with coffee. They are easier to make than you my think. Here are the step by step, easy instructions.
