6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup extra ingredients (1/2 cup craisins plus 1/2 cup pistachios or 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips plus 1/2 cup pecans or whatever you want to add!)
melting chocolate, optional
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix together. Slowly add the flour and baking powder and mix until well combined. Fold in the extra ingredients. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray or use parchment paper. Shape a rectangle about 12 inches by 5 inches and 1/2-1 inch thick with a slight rise in the middle. Flour your hands if the dough is sticking to them. I also recommend shaping the dough near the edge of the pan for easier slicing later when the pan is hot. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and using a serrated knife, slice the biscotti into 1 inch wide slices. Lay them on their side and bake for another 10 minutes. Turn the slices over to the other side and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before dipping edges into melted chocolate.
