Crunchy, nutty, and acceptably sweet, those Italian twice-baked cookies are really delicious and make a great coffee dunker. They can be adapted to include any of your favourite nuts, fruit or spices. I like the combination of 'red cranberries and green pistachios', that makes those an ideal Christmas treat. Serve them for the dessert or afternoon snack.
- 190 g All purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp Star anise powder
- 4 Egg whites
- Pinch of salt
- 100 g Sugar
- 50 g Dried cranberries, roughly chopped
- 100 g Pistachio, roughly chopped
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder and star anise powder. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F. Line a loaf pan, 10x33-cm / 4x13-inch with baking paper.
- Beat the egg white and pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add in sugar and beat until stiff. Add in the flour mixture and fold to combine. Add in chopped chopped dried cranberries and pistachios.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cookie loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Adjust the oven temperature to 75C/170F.
- Cut the cookie loaf diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place back on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for another 80 minutes, or until dry. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

I'm nuts for pistachios in anything. And I happen to love any kind of "dunker" too! Did you make these just for me? (I keep forgetting to tell you how much I love all your quotes; now, I have.)
Love biscotti, love pistachios and love cranberries...these would be right up my alley!
Would you like to know the Italian name of these biscotti??? CANTUCCI...and your look like fantastic Cantucci, brava, ciao Flavia
I have never been a hug fan of biscotti, as they are so hard sometimes, but i guess that they are like that. Love you flavours in them.
Love the cranberries and pistachios in your biscotti, I agree these make a perfect Christmas cookie;-)
These are so colourful- and festive! I want christmas to come now....
I've never made biscotti before, though I love the idea of the twice baking part ;) Will have to try one day!

How beautiful--love the colors! And they are so full of cranberries and pistachio!
They look amazing, wish I could grab a few.
This looks like a beautiful, updated version of the more rustic biscotti my nana used to make. I can't wait to bake these for her.
Your biscotti must taste like Christmas! So beautiful :)
The perfect and prettiest combination for biscotti! I love your arrangements of them - I just want a cup of coffee and to sit at the table and grab one.
You always know how to put flavors together and present them in a beautiful way - you're like a fashion designer for food.
oh so beautiful!
I love biscotti with my tea. Yours look so pretty! The pistachios and cranberries look like gems :)
Angie-I have a list of 22 different kind of biscotti, that I was seriously considering making, and so far only made about 6 kinds. Chocolate chip of course, is on top of my list. I will certainly add this light, crunchy, fat-free yummy pistachio-cranberry to my 7th one for sure!
So colorful and festive, as well:DDD (thank you for your kind compliment on my blog)
xoxo
the pistachios and cranberries add fantastic color to the biscotti, I'm pretty sure it tastes awesome!
These are absolutely stunning. You are quite the cook and quite the photographer. love your blog!
Angie, I have work to do you know. I can't always have you make me want to go into my kitchen whenever I visit your blog :) These look gorgeous!
Such gorgeous biscotti, this looks amazing! :)
Once again your photos are fantastic. I love pistachios in anything, especially a cookie. A cup of hot coffee and one of your beautiful, colorful cookies ... what time shall I come over???? Tricia
The pistachios and cranberries just pop in that biscotti. It looks so tasty and inviting.
GORGEOUS photos!!!
What a beautiful cookie, I just love the jewel tones of the pistachios and cranberries. I bet they taste wonderful with an espresso!
I can almost taste that combination on my tongue! These would be wonderful for Christmas with the red and green colors.
I love biscotti and the pistachio cranberry combination is always a winner!
I have no idea why i have never made biscotti's before but these look perfect for the fall. Going to save and make.

Angie - I LOVE biscotti and these are stunning....They are so good with coffee!
This is indeed a great combinatin, so colourful and cheerful!
I LOVE biscotti. But they always so hard to find and when you do they very expensive. Could I add sweetener instead of sugar? My parents are diabetic and love biscotti too. Thanks for this great recipe. :)
These look like the perfect tea time snack! The flavor combo is unique and no doubt tasty. Love the appearance the pistachios give-your pictures are stunning.
Hi angie, this biscotti looks very pretty and delicious ( like it’s meant for a petite lady’s tea snack)

Beautiful biscotti Angie - I have always loved the contrast in colour between pistachio green and vibrant cranberry. Lovely.
One of my all time favorite biscotti combinations!
These look wonderful! I have never had pistachio and cranberries before.
What a great combination. Looks delicious. As always I love your photos.
You know what? I love red (cranberry) and green (pistachio) of this...so Christmasy !
I love biscotti! They're very similar to Jewish mandel bread, one of my favorite cookies. Pistachios work so well in this recipe!
I love biscotti. I haven't tried this version. Will have to soon! :)
These are beautiful. I recently made some biscotti using pistachio and cranberries along with lavender but the color didn't come out as vibrant as yours! :) Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try your recipe next time.
Wow, this is so great! I would love to write about your blog in my next "Enjoy your food" post, if that would be ok with you :) Let me know!
Oh my these make my heart sing. You nailed it with the colors and flavors. I was wondering when you were going to do your next biscotti missy :) considering you're the Queen of such delights and all :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
Besides great flavor, I love the pop of colors! Another winner, Angie:)
I really like this combination--and the egg whites-only give the biscotti such a bright look--the colors of cranberry and pistachio are really enlivened.
I love this flavor combination too! Some crushed fennel seed might be a nice addition.
I love the colors in these! A great combination for biscotti.
@Marina Sure. I can't wait to read it!
Great ingredients choices and a great presentation Angie.
I'm putting out my teapot as soon as I get off the computer. I'm now craving biscotti ;o)
Have a great weekend,
Claudia

Happy weekend, dear.

These biscotti look great! They must be so crisp and crunchy!
My grandmother would buy biscotti and the bakery would put it into a white paper bag. This recipe brings back nice memories. We would always dunk them in tea or coffee, even the kids got to dunk.
I love biscotti - perfect with my morning coffee! This is a fabulous recipe - thank you for sharing. Check us out sometime @ BloomEveryday.wordpress.com. :) Would love for you to check out some of our recipes.
Indeed, biscotti is the perfect thing to dunk in my morning brew. I love this flavor combination, and the color duo is certainly perfect for christmas.
Your biscotti is lovely, Angie! I still haven't tried making it and I really want to. I like the flavors in this one too. YUM.
I sooo need to make these. Cranberries? Pistachios? Those are 2 of my fave ingredients. :)
perfect for dunking in english breakfast tea :)
I love biscotti and am always on the look out for new recipes
thank you for sharing
I love biscotti! What delicious looking pictures!
The colors in the cookie make it intriguing and delicious.
hi Angie, Denise here. i was wondering, why is it that other recipes on the web requires the dough to be cut into 2 before the first bake while yours doesn't?
@AnonymousDenise, you sure can divide it into two portions. Other recipes might use whole eggs, this one uses just egg whites.
