Chocolate Walnut Cranberry Biscotti

Agate Cove Recipes : Chocolate Walnut Cranberry Biscotti

This recipe yields 32 biscotti in a single batch.

Dry ingredients
2 cups	all-purpose flour
1 cup	white sugar
1/2 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	baking soda
1/2 tsp	salt
1/2 tsp	ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp	ground cloves

Wet ingredients
1/4 cup	strong coffee (cooled)
4 tsp	milk
1	egg, large
1 tsp	vanilla extract

Fillings
3/4 cup	chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cup	chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
3/4 cup	dried cranberries or chopped dried cherries

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and blend well. In a small bowl, whisk together all liquids, then add to dry ingredients with mixer. You may want to add a few drops of coffee to get the mixture slightly wet. Turn dough out onto a well-floured board and add chocolate chips, walnuts and cranberries. Form into ½” x 3 ½” flat logs. Cook on greased/floured (or use parchment paper) cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cook until cake-like. Cool. For a harder biscotti, cut logs into ½” pieces, lay (cut-side down) flat on cookie sheet and bake another 6-8 minutes at 300 degrees on one side only. Cool and serve. Variations: use pistachios, almonds, or dried cherries.
