🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar adds a richer flavor.

Add 1 cup of white granulated sugar to a large bowl.

Add 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of very soft unsalted butter to the sugar and blend together with a spatula.

In another bowl, crack 2 large eggs and beat them until broken up.

Add the zest of 2 oranges and mix well, then add 1 teaspoon of almond extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Combine the egg mixture with the butter and sugar mixture.

In a separate bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and whisk together.

Chop 1/3 cup each of pistachios, dried apricots, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries, then add them to the flour mixture and mix well.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, folding them together until a sticky dough forms.

Dust a work surface with flour, place the dough on it, and divide it into two equal halves.

Shape each half into logs approximately 8-9 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1 inch high, and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the logs for 30 minutes.

Allow the logs to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing them into approximately half-inch thick pieces.

Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and place the sliced biscotti back in the oven for a second bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden.
