Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.
- Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
- Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
- Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
- The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.
CHOCOLATE NUT CRANBERRY ESPRESSO BISCOTTI
This biscotti has an interesting flavor twist due to the cinnamon and cloves...works very well with the chocolate and coffee. (Recipe credited to Agate Cove Inn, California).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients (first 7 ingredients listed).
- In a small bowl, whisk egg.
- Add coffee, milk and vanilla.
- Mix well.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients.
- If resulting mixture is too dry, add a little more coffee (1/4 tsp at a time).
- Add chips, nuts and cranberries.
- Turn dough onto well-floured board and with floured hands, form into 2 logs, each about 13-14 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide.
- Bake on greased and floured (or parchment-lined) baking sheet for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from oven (reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees at this point) and let cool for 8 minutes.
- Using serrated knife, cut on a diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Lay, cut side down, on baking sheet and bake another 6-8 minutes, one side only.
- For a harder biscotti, bake 5 minutes EACH side.
CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of the orange juice with the cornstarch. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar with the remaining 1/2 cup orange juice, mixing on medium speed for about 20 seconds. Add the canola oil and vanilla and mix for about 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture, and mix until combined, about 20 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing on low speed. Fold in the cranberries and chocolate chips using either a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula.
- Dust the parchment paper with a little flour mix, and transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle a little more fl our mix onto the dough, flour your hands, and divide the dough in half. Shape the dough into two mounded logs on the baking sheet. The dough will be sticky, so make sure your hands are really well floured. The logs should be 8 inches long by 4 inches wide by 1 inch high.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the logs liberally with the rice milk. Then sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 35 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce the temperature to 300°F. Let cool for 20 minutes, then lift the logs off the parchment paper (if they stick, use a frosting spatula to gently loosen them by sliding it gently under the bottom). Slice each log diagonally into 12 slices. I cut each log in half first, then into quarters, and then each quarter into 3 slices. I use a sharp serrated knife to do this.
- Return the slices to the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, flip the cookies, and bake for 20 minutes more, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscotti to a cooling rack. They will become extra crisp once they cool.

Steps:
- Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Whisk eggs and vanilla in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and melted butter into dry ingredients. Stir in cranberries and almonds.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface. Using floured hands, divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Shape each into 8x2x3/4-inch log. Place 2 logs on 1 baking sheet, spacing evenly, and 1 log on second sheet.
- Bake logs 12 minutes. Reverse position of baking sheets. Bake logs until firm and dry to touch, about 12 minutes longer. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Transfer logs to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut hot logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut side down, on same baking sheets. Bake biscotti until dry and slightly darker, about 10 minutes. Transfer to racks; cool.
- If desired, stir white chocolate in bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water until smooth. Remove from over water. Dip biscotti 1 at a time into chocolate, holding cookie at angle and coating 1 inch of each. Return to same baking sheets. Chill until chocolate is set, about 20 minutes. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Arrange between sheets of waxed paper in airtight containers; store at room temperature.)
UNION SQUARE CAFE'S CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12- by 17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick liner. Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda; set aside.
- Using a heavy-duty electric mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter for 3 to 5 minutes at medium speed. Add vanilla extract and espresso. Mix for 10 seconds. Add eggs one at a time, mixing for 10 seconds at medium-low speed after each addition. Add sifted flour mixture and mix at low speed until dough comes together, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips and mix just until chips are evenly incorporated, 15 to 20 seconds.
- Transfer dough to a work surface and divide in two, shaping into balls. Form each ball into a log 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide. Transfer logs to prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Brush tops of logs with egg wash and sprinkle each log with 1 tablespoon raw sugar. Bake until biscotti have spread, have a few cracks and bounce back slightly when pressed with fingertips, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch slices. Place each slice with a cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick liner. Bake until firm, crisp and slightly dry, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
