Some weeks I am on the fence whether or not to bake SMS. This week, I knew I wanted bake this biscotti. I love biscotti and these flavors sounded delicous. Despite some of the other SMS gals comments about how awesome the dried cherries are, I always to try to use what I have on hand. I use the dried cranberries I had in the cupboard. The recipe called from almond and vanilla extract. No almond extract in the cabinet, so I added a little extra vanilla. This recipe goes together quickly and easily. I thought the dough seemed really wet. Don't you just love those moments where you second guess yourself and wonder if you put in all of the flour? I decided to add another 1/4 cup of flour. I'm glad I did!!! The texture was perfect.
After cutting these for their second bake, I decided to taste one of the ends. Yum! I also thought they seemed done at that point. Based on this, I decided to shorten the second baking time for a less crunchy cookie. The recipe called for baking them an additional 60 minutes. I shortened the time to 30 minutes.
I love this recipe. I can't wait to experiment with the flavors on this one. These are going on my list for this year's holiday treats.
