Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Stand mixer with paddle attachment or a hand mixer and a mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 70 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 100 g white granulated sugar
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1 large egg
  • 175 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 70 g dried cranberries
  • 150 g milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and orange zest. Beat with a hand mixer (or use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment) until creamy.
  • Add the egg and beat until well combined.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix using a rubber spatula until a dough forms, ensuring no dry ingredients remain.
  • Fold in the dried cranberries. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Shape the dough into a log approximately 10 inches long, 3 inches wide, and ¾ inch tall (25cm x 7cm x 2cm).
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
  • Let the log cool for 10 minutes. Then, slice it diagonally into ½-inch (1 ½ cm) thick pieces. Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and dry.
  • Remove from the oven and let the biscotti rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • Chocolate glaze
  • Place 110g of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short increments, stirring well between each, until 90% of the chocolate is melted.
  • Add the remaining 40g of chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  • Dip the tip of each biscotti into the melted chocolate, shaking off any excess. Place the biscotti on parchment paper to set before serving.
