Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Biscotti

Chicago Tuscan Catering's Note:

I love to bake and cook!! Mixing and matching ingredients from different cookbooks to come up with my own recipe. I have a notebook in my kitchen at all times. When I'm trying out new or old recipes I like to add or change ingredients. I write everything down and if the meal turns out good, I place stars next to it. If it's so-so, I put a % next to it to let me know that I still need to work on it, and if it's a flop I just cross out the entire recipe and stick with the basic recipe. My family loves being my taste-testers. So I hope you enjoy this recipe. This is one that I tweaked.
