Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Biscotti

Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Biscotti

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/4 cup canola oil

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted

1/2 cup sweetened, dried cranberries

In a small mixing bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, oil and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well. Stir in pumpkin seeds and cranberries (dough will be sticky).

Divide dough in half; place on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. With lightly floured hands, shape each portion into a 12-in. x 2-in. rectangle. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 5 minutes or until firm. Turn and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an air-tight container.

Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
