Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cups of sugar
  • 1 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix butter, sugar and orange zest until light and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time. Once the eggs are fully combined, stir in the flour.
  • Mix in the dried cranberries and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips.
  • Separate the dough in half, place on the baking sheet side by side forming it into two logs measuring about 2 1/2 X 8 inches.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly golden. Take out and let cool for about 20 minutes.
  • With a serrated knife, cut width wise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices back into the baking sheet with the cut side down. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Place the biscotti on a rack for cooling.

For the drizzle

  • Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mix in vegetable shortening and combine well.
  • Using a fork, drizzle the biscotti generously with white chocolate sauce.
  • Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate becomes firm.
