Ingredients

• 0.75 Cup white sugar
• 0.25 Cup light olive oil
• 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 Teaspoon almond extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.75 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1.5 Cups pistachio nuts
• 0.5 Cup dried cranberries

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and oil until well blended. Add vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in the eggs.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir this into the egg mixture until combined.
4. Fold in the pistachios and cranberries by hand.
5. Divide the dough in half. Form each piece into a 12x2-inch log on the prepared cookie sheet. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands with cool water to handle it more easily.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the logs are light brown, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
8. Cut the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Lay the cookies cut-side down on the cookie sheet.
9. Bake the cookies until dry, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Enjoy these festive biscotti with your favorite hot beverage!
