Cranberry Biscotti
Beat 1/3 cup butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add 2 eggs and beat on medium until well combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in contents of jar just until combined. Divide into 2 loaves on cookie sheet, chilling if necessary to make dough easier to handle. Each loaf should be about 9 inches long and 2 inches wide. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on sheet for 1 hour. Cut each loaf diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices using a serrated (bread) knife. Place slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325°F for 8 minutes, then turn over and bake for 8-10 minutes more or until dry and crisp. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes 32 cookies.

Would make this again.
This biscotti is perfect, not too sweet, but not to dry. It is perfect for dunking in tea or coffee. The last reviewer said it was a little dry. If they're mixing it by hand I agree, but if you use a standing mixer like a kitchen aid, and use the paddle attachment it will work well. five stars

Tasted great but there was not enough shortening (butter) to hold it together. I will try to add more butter next time or some liquid. three stars

Would make this again.
I received this as a Christmas gift. It was very easy to make and my husband and I really enjoyed it. The kids didn't even want to try it, however. I would recommend it because it was different, tasty and easy! five stars
