ALMOND CRANBERRY BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300.
• Mix together sugar, oil, eggs and extracts until combined well.
• Add nuts, cranberries and chocolate, and mix.
• Add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well until it forms a thick cookie-like dough.
• Divide dough in half, and place each half on a pan lined with parchment paper.
• Wet hands liberally with water, and mold dough into 2 logs. They will be approximately 8-10 inches long, 4-5 inches wide, 1 inch tall.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool until logs can be handled (10-15 minutes).
• Slice so they are approximately 3/4 inch thick. Slice at a slight angle, but not too much of one, so that they are not too long.
• Reduce oven temperature to 275.
• Place sliced biscotti on their side and bak for an additional 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven, allow to cool.
