White Chocolate-Cranberry Biscotti

I had never made biscotti before now... but I will again. Yumm! I've only eaten biscotti a few times before so was surprised to find, when I started looking through recipes, that it is actually baked twice.

This recipe is another one from AllRecipes (submitted by Brenda Keith). It's a great recipe but I also look forward to trying it over and over again with different flavors.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup white chocolate chips (The recipe actually calls for 'white vanilla chips' ... is there such a thing? I don't know so I assumed it was a typo)

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Divide dough into three portions.

On ungreased baking sheets, shape each portion into a 10-inch by 2-inch rectangle. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Transfer to a cutting board. Cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1-inch slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Store in an airtight container.

Yields 15 servings.
