Coffee's Best Friend - Dried Cranberry Biscotti

There is something about the smell of fresh coffee brewing in the morning; honestly throughout the day, too. I try to limit my caffeine intake once late afternoon hits, but I cannot resist a Biscotti and coffee after dinner.

There is something about Fresh Anise Biscotti and a Fresh Cup of Coffee. It truly is the perfect pairing. Whether its breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, I cannot resist the Biscotti and Coffee combination.

My Grandpa would dunk everything in his coffee, from toast to cookies. I spent a lot of time with him growing up, therefore I was a conditioned dunker before I even started drinking coffee. 

While my Grandpa was drinking his coffee & eating his toast my Grandma would be baking fresh Biscotti. She always had a Christmas Tin filled with Biscotti, no matter the time of year. My favorite Biscotti she made was a Classic Cranberry Biscotti with one end dipped in White Chocolate, mmm. 

I am now going to share the Classic Cranberry Biscotti Recipe with you, because it truly is your cup-of-coffee's best friend.

  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 Cup of Dried Cranberries
  • 2 Cups of White Chocolate Chips - For Melting & Dipping
