A A A

• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp orange zest (optional)
• 1 tsp orange extract
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 (6 oz) package sweetened dried cranberries (such as craisins), or more to taste

• 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until mixture is creamy. Beat in eggs, orange zest, orange extract, and almond extract.
• 3 Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; mix dry ingredients into moist ingredients to make a stiff dough. Mix sweetened cranberries into dough. Form dough into a ball, cut into halves, and shape each half into a log. Place logs onto prepared baking sheet.
• 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Let logs cool completely on wire racks.
• 5 Cut logs into slices on a slight diagonal and lay the slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake biscotti until crisp and lightly golden brown, about 7 minutes.
