Start the morning with a warm cup of coffee and White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti!
Do you love a nice treat with your morning cup of coffee? I sure do! These White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti are the perfect option, plus easy to make gluten-free too.
How do you make gluten-free biscotti?
All you need to do to make this gluten-free is to use a 1:1 Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour. I use Better Batter All-Purpose Flour; however, any 1:1 of your choice will do.
The remaining ingredients are naturally gluten-free, but as always be sure to check all labels.
Tips for Making White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti:
Making White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti is very simple, but be sure to closely follow the recipe as these will be baked at two different temperatures.
It’s important to use room temperature eggs as well, not cold. This is important in getting the batter to form properly. Once the batter is formed, you will shape it into two logs.
When you get to the cutting portion, the cuts will be made at a diagonal, and they will not be fully cut until the entire baking process is completed.
Biscotti is actually hard and crunchy because it is baked twice. Once you dip the biscotti in your warm drink it will soften up and taste wonderful. I’m a fan of it though as is without dipping it in a drink too, it’s just that good!
How long do biscotti last?
These will stay good in an airtight container for about 2 weeks. It is very important to make sure your container is airtight.
It’s best to store them at room temperature.
This biscotti would be a wonderful holiday gift too paired with Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix.
I actually shared this recipe over a decade ago, but it was time for an update.
Enjoy!

I like biscotti but have never tried to make it. I pinned this recipe to try it out. Thanks for linking it up this week. #HomeMattersParty This post will be one of the features this week.
Can I substitute monk fruit in the recipe? Wondering if it’ll make them too dry.
I haven’t tried this one.
