I happened to have all the ingredients, except the dry cranberry. I used raisin as substitute, and it turned out great!! I have tried some other recipes before, but none of them is as great as this one. I think the light olive oil is the secret weapon here. Some recipes calls for butter and some do not have oil. Without oil the biscotti cannot be tasted crispy, but the butter rally ruins the original italian snack flavor. All in all, this is the best recipe of biscotti ever!!!!! Try it, you will never disappoint!!
