The crunchy Italian biscuit, I’ve always thought it’s as quite posh and something you have at a nice cafe shop and enjoy with a nice latte (or whichever coffee you prefer).<\/p>\n

The reason I wanted to make these biscotti was for a surprise for my dad as he loves them…so as a good daughter (as I usually am…hahaha not really but I do try) I thought I would make it. This was also the first time I’ve never made biscotti and was a new challenge. I knew exactly what two ingredients I wanted to use cranberry and pistachio, they work so well together, after looking through a number of recipes I found the one I wanted to use.<\/p>\n

My dad really appreciated the surprise and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek, awww it made me happy my dad was happy. It’s right when they say giving is better then receiving.<\/p>\n

  9. 1\/4 cup \u2013 dried cranberries<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  10. 1\/2 cup \u2013 unsalted whole pistachios (I used 1\/4 cup chopped nuts)<\/li>\t\t\t\t

    \t\t\t
    Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. 1. Preheat oven to 150\u00b0 C. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together oil, sugar, almond and vanilla extracts, then mix in egg. Stir in flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until smooth. Mix in cranberries and pistachios.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. With your hands, form dough into a log, about 2 x 12-inches long, on a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper. If dough is sticky, wet your hands with cold water. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until light brown. Remove pan and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Cut the log into about 1\/2-inch thick slices, or desired sizes. Lay slices back on the baking sheet and bake for about another 10 minutes, until dry. Cool before serving.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t
      Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. I didn't use almond extract! not nice.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Biscotti are twice baked so you have to cook them again.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
