  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it in half. Form each half into a log 10 inches (25 cm) long. Do this by rolling the dough back and forth into a cylinder shape with floured hands.
  • Transfer the logs to the baking sheet, spacing them well apart (width-wise on the pan), and pat to even the shapes. Bake until firm to the touch, about 25 - 30 minutes (logs will spread during baking).

  • Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Using a long spatula transfer the logs to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into slices about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick on the diagonal

Recipe Notes

The biscotti can be dipped in white chocolate. Melt 90 grams of chopped white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of  butter in a small metal bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Watch carefully as white chocolate can burn easily. Stir to melt. Remove from heat and with an offset spatula spread a layer of white chocolate on one side of the biscotti (or dip one end into the melted chocolate). Let the chocolate dry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and flavor, try adding a handful of toasted chopped nuts such as pistachios or almonds along with the cranberries for a colorful and textural upgrade.
  • If you prefer a less sweet biscotti, swap out some of the milk chocolate chips for chopped dark chocolate or even roasted cacao nibs to enhance the bittersweet cocoa notes.
  • To ensure clean, even slices, let the biscotti log cool for about 10 minutes after the first bake, then use a serrated knife with a gentle sawing motion to cut into slices before the second bake.
  • Store the cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze them for up to three months; simply re-crisp in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes if needed after thawing.
