Pistachio and Cranberry Biscotti--Whole Foods Website

Recipe #299791 | 1½ hours | 25 min prep | SERVES 24 , 20 -24 cookies (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Elle Woods Can Cook!

I saw a similar recipe on here for this biscotti, but the key to this biscotti's sweetness is in using maple syrup not granulated sugar. The website suggests drizzling with chocolate. I did a few that way for gifts, dipped a few in chocolate for my sweet-tooth boyfriend, and left a few plain for me. Just know that without any chocolate, they are more like a biscuit and aren't very sweet (although they won't ruin your diet that way, either!). Hope you enjoy as much I have...perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 egg
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
  • ounces dark chocolate, at least 65% dark or white chocolate
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 350°F
    2. 2
      In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
    3. 3
      In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla.
    4. 4
      Using a rubber spatula, stir flour mixture ingredients into butter-egg mixture and mix well to create a firm dough.
    5. 5
      Mix in pistachios and cranberries and combine well (you can knead the dough with your hands if you'd like).
    6. 6
      Divide dough into two equal portions and transfer to a parchment-covered baking sheet. Shape into two logs, each about 12 inches long and about 1 inch tall. Leave space between logs to allow space for dough to spread during cooking!
    7. 7
      Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until logs are firm and beginning to turn golden brown.
    8. 8
      Remove from oven. Use a serrated knife to slice logs into slices, 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
    9. 9
      Arrange slices on baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning cookies once halfway through, until golden and crisp (I like mine extra crispy, so I turn the oven down to 300° and let the cut cookies bake a little longer).
    10. 10
      Remove from oven and transfer cookies to baking rack to cool completely.
    11. 11
      Meanwhile, melt chocolate separately over a double boiler (or in microwave). When cookies are cool, drizzle with dark chocolate and refrigerate to allow chocolate to harden (a few minutes).
