Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F/176°C

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl.
  6. Add the pistachios and cranberries.
  7. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long, and 3/4 inch thick.
  8. Place the logs on the Silpat or parchment paper–lined baking tray.  Use your hands to flatten the dough logs until they are about 3/4-inch thick.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden.
  10. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 30 -60 minutes.
  11. Cut the logs into the biscotti shape, about 1-inch thick slices, on the diagonal.
  12. Place the biscotti, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 more minutes, until dry.
  13. For the glaze, place chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  14. Dip one side of each biscotti cookie in the melted chocolate.
  15. Place the dipped biscotti back onto the baking sheets and allow the chocolate to set at room temperature.
