Cranberry Biscotti
Beat 1/3 cup butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add 2 eggs and beat on medium until well combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in contents of jar just until combined. Divide into 2 loaves on cookie sheet, chilling if necessary to make dough easier to handle. Each loaf should be about 9 inches long and 2 inches wide. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on sheet for 1 hour. Cut each loaf diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices using a serrated (bread) knife. Place slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325°F for 8 minutes, then turn over and bake for 8-10 minutes more or until dry and crisp. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes 32 cookies.

Would make this again.
I used my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer to make this recipe, and once all mixed together, the mixture was extremely dry and crumbly! I decided then to add some pure almond extract and a splash of orange juice to help the dough stick together. It is in the oven now, so let's keep our fingers crossed it turns out! Smells yummy! :) 3 stars

I am thinking of giving this as a gift, do you think it would still be good if I substitute the pecans for walnuts and add chocolate chips? 5 stars

This was absolutely delicious! I received this a birthday gift and made it and shared it with my husband John! His mouth dropped in awe! I made the cherry version! Loved it! 5 stars

This biscotti is perfect, not too sweet, but not to dry. It is perfect for dunking in tea or coffee. The last reviewer said it was a little dry. If they're mixing it by hand I agree, but if you use a standing mixer like a kitchen aid, and use the paddle attachment it will work well. 5 stars

Would make this again.
Tasted great but there was not enough shortening (butter) to hold it together. I will try to add more butter next time or some liquid. 3 stars
