  2. 1 cup sweetened, dried cranberries
  3. 1-7 oz box Odense Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater)
  4. 1 cup flour
  5. 2/3 cup sugar
  6. 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, diced
  7. 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
  8. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  9. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  10. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  11. 2 cups quick oats
  12. 2 large eggs
  13. 1 cup sliced almonds
Oats give heartiness to this festive cookie. Odense Almond Paste combined with the addition of cranberries and orange rind make a classic flavor combination.

Time

25 minutes to assemble
30-35 minutes for first bake
7-10 minutes each side for 2nd bake

Yield

22-24 biscotti’s

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring liqueur or juice to a boil in a small pan. Add cranberries and mix well. Cover and set aside.
  2. Add Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater), flour, sugar, butter, rind, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until almond paste and butter are finely cut into ingredients. Add oats and pulse just to combine.
  3. Beat eggs in a large bowl and add flour mixture. Add reserved cranberries and almonds. Mix until dough holds together. Turn out onto a lightly floured counter and divide in half.
  4. Roll each half into a log about 10-12 inches. Transfer logs to baking sheet. Flatten to 3/4 inch thickness.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm. Cool completely on wire rack. The addition of oats makes a more crumbly biscotti to cut. It's easier to cut if cool.
  6. Cut each loaf into 3/4 inch slices (straight cut for smaller pieces and diagonal for longer pieces). Return slices to cookie sheet, cut side down. Bake 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and flip cookies. Bake an additional 7-10 minutes.
  7. Cool on wire rack and store in an air-tight container.
