If you’re craving something that’s both cozy and crisp—perfect for dunking, gifting, or sharing—Spiced Cranberry Biscotti always hits the spot. These twice-baked cookies combine sweet dried cranberries with warming spices, a hint of vanilla, and creamy white chocolate drizzle for a seasonal treat that feels straight out of a holiday bakery. Their beautiful look, fragrant aroma, and irresistible crunch make biscotti a must for tea time, coffee breaks, or any moment you want a treat that lasts.
I’m drawn to biscotti for its shelf-stable snap, gorgeous presentation, and satisfying flavor. Chunks of cranberry and ribbons of white chocolate make each piece special, while cinnamon and cardamom add depth. You don’t need fancy equipment—just a bowl, a spoon, and a little patience for that famous double bake.
