# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

→ Add-Ins

09 - 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
10 - 2/3 cup dried cranberries
11 - 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate (divided; reserve 1/4 cup for drizzling)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
05 - Gently fold in chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips.
06 - Divide dough evenly in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, flattening the tops slightly.
07 - Bake for 23 to 25 minutes until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove and cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
08 - Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
09 - Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
10 - Bake slices for 10 minutes, flip them, then bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes until crisp and golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
11 - Melt the reserved 1/4 cup white chocolate and drizzle over cooled biscotti. Allow chocolate to set before serving or storing.
