Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/176C degrees.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the dried cranberries, sugar, oil, and extracts. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix together well, until a dough is formed and is slightly stiff, but still soft.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal pieces. Form each dough piece into a small rectangular loaf. Place loaves on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for 5 minutes.
Reduce oven to 300F/148C degrees. Remove slightly cooled biscotti loaves from the pan and cut into 15 (½-¾") slices on the diagonal with a sharp knife. Place the slices back on the baking sheet and bake for additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and transfer biscotti to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover biscotti in an air-tight container for 4-6 weeks.
Can freeze cooked biscotti for longer storage.
