Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and then pour in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the coarsely chopped pistachios and dried cranberries with a spatula.
  6. Divide the dough into two portions and shape into logs approximately 1¼ inches wide and 15 inches long.
  7. Bake the logs for 25–30 minutes until firm and lightly golden, then cool on the baking sheet.
  8. Slice the cooled logs into 1-inch pieces and return to the oven for an additional 10–12 minutes.
  9. Once baked, remove biscotti and cool completely on a wire rack.
