Carolyn Bonheim’s Biscotti

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease the loaf pans with butter

Cream the butter and sugar until its light and smooth

Add the eggs one at a time – beat until everything is incorporated and fluffy

Add vanilla

Sift together the flour, baking powder and dash of salt

Add the flour mixture slowly and at medium speed – or flour will be EVERYWHERE!!!

After the flour mixture is incorporated then add the nuts and cranberries

Distribute the batter evenly in the 3 loaf pans and bake for 35 minutes or until the loaves become golden brown

Cool loafs on rack in the pans until you can handle them and then turn the loaves out onto the cooling racks and cool them completely

Wrap the loaves in foil and freeze

After the loves are frozen, you are ready to turn them into biscotti

You can take out one loaf at a time from the freezer and preheat the oven to 350

Let the loaf stand for 5 minutes

Take a very sharpe knife and slice the loaf into 1/8th in slices

Place the biscotti on a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown
