- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup pine nuts
- ½ cup reduced sugar Craisins (dried cranberries)
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Whisk the flours, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the pine nuts and dried cranberries until well combined.
Place the eggs, sugars, vanilla and orange zest in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until well incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients and continue to mix until a stiff dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and place the balls of dough on a cutting board dusted lightly with flour. Roll each ball out into a log roughly 9 inches long by 2 inches wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Press down on the top of the logs to flatten them slightly.
Bake 28-30 minutes until firm to the touch. As they cook, the logs will spread out slightly. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Transfer the logs to a cutting board and using a serrated knife, cut them on a diagonal into ¾-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices upright on the baking sheet and place it back in the oven. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes (cook longer for extra crispy biscotti).
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
