Christmas is a week away and I am sure this weekend you will be busy with last minute baking (and shopping!). It’s going to be madness out there if you are out shopping, but in the kitchen, you can control the madness if you choose a few great recipes to make, for example, this amazing cranberry and pistachio biscotti that is sure to please.
The original recipe came from Food 4 Tots. First of all, the combinations are just brilliant. First, you have the colorful dried cranberry, and secondly, pistachio. Pistachio, I mean, how can anything be wrong when it has loads of pistachio in it? Every bite of this crunchy and crispy biscotti is bursting with the nutty flavors of the pistachio and the fruity nuance from the cranberry. I simply love them.
The best way to enjoy is with your favorite cup of coffee, sipping your coffee, having a conversation and then take a bite of the amazing biscotti. After all, holiday season is about spending good quality time with your family and loved ones, so make sure you get the ingredients this weekend and bake this Cranberry and Pistachio Biscotti.

Thank you for your many interesting posts and recipes over the year. I hope it has been a good one for your efforts.

Are the pistachios roasted and salted, or raw and unsalted? I have seen them both ways.
Thank you.

Roasted and salted.

Looks yummy. But why isn’t there oil or butter in the recipe? If none, will the biscotti be hard?

Biscotti is supposed to be hard.

Found the dough very dry and crumbly. I dont have a mixer so it was all by hand. However I added a second egg so it would not fall apart.
deb
I did too!!
Amber
So dry! Adding another egg and squeezing some juice from the orange made the dough more of a sticky consistency. I think that was the missing piece.

I think so.
Deb
The dough was crumbly and dry, had to add another egg and some orange juice just to get it a little doughy. Its in the oven, sure hope it tuns out!
Amber
I agree with the adding an egg and squeezing juice from the Orange!
Esther
Same here, had to add another egg. Otherwise the dough was too dry and wouldn’t form/stick. It’s in the oven baking, hope it turns out!
Jane
This recipe was missing a half of a stick of softened butter. I doubled the recipe and used a whole stick of butter. Pretty important omission…

The dough was so dry and crumbly. I tried to press out 2 loaves. Ended up salvaging 10 cookies out of it. The rest fell apart when I cut into them. I am eating the cookie pieces right now with a cup or tea and I must admit they are quite delicious. I have made other biscottis and never was the batter so crumbly before. After reading the other comments, I will give it another try tomorrow night. I’m not sure if I should add another egg and some of the orange juice or add some butter. I’m bringing them to a Thanksgiving gathering and I need more than 10. Any suggestions on the right ingredient to add to the next batch? Egg and juice or butter?

I think the problem is due to the miscalculation when g is converted to cups. Please use the metric measurement to avoid the problems. I have also noticed that the flour should be 1 cup.
