This is the time of year when we all start having lots of guests dropping by and it is nice to have some holiday treats on hand to share with your visitors. This White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti Recipe is perfect because it is fancy enough for guests but not too complicated to make. The cranberry biscotti are fabulous because they are a super tasty treat but not too sweet that you feel guilty letting your kids munch on them. Plus, biscotti can stay fresh for longer than most holiday cookies.

This white chocolate cranberry biscotti recipe can be easily modified. You can substitute pistachios for the almonds. Or if you don’t like nuts, just leave them out! If you prefer dark chocolate, go ahead and substitute that for the white chocolate! This cranberry biscotti recipe is perfect for a snack or a breakfast on the go. My kids love to help me cook and always help assemble the ingredients.

Form the dough into a long log (about 12 by 4) on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.

Cut the log into 1/2 inch thick slices using a serrated knife. Lay the biscotti out flat on a baking sheet and bake the biscotti until they are beginning to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti to a wire rack and cool completely.

You can serve the White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti as they are, plain- or you can decorate them even more for Christmas. My kids like to help me dip them and them sprinkle them. We just melt pyrex dishes of white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips in the microwave for the dip.

You can put the White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti in little jars and tie ribbons on them for a perfect DIY holiday gift! You can cut fabric squares to go over the lid of the jar and wrap with ribbons. Enjoy!
