Directions
Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti, My very fav biscotti I have to make it at Christmas for all my co-workers and they start asking for it well in advance!! 2 WW points a cookie but well worth it , Doubled this the recipe for gift giving Used melted butter instead of olive oil Added grated rind of 1 orange, 2 Tbls good quality orange liquor (Like Cointreau) and 2 Tbls Amaretto Omitted vanilla and almond extract Added more cranberries (another 1/2 cup to the doubled recipe Used 1 cup finely chopped almonds for part of the pistachios (remember I doubled the recipe!) In the past I have used Frangelica for the liqueur, use dried cherries instead of cranberries, used pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts instead of pistachios – they are equally good I have been using a similar recipe for years and could not find this year This worked equally well Biscotti are a great present and yours will be better than storebought I make other flavors like chocolate and blueberry lemon These are my personal favorite
