Being the only real person in my household that knows how to cook gives me lots of power, so that would make it easy to dictate the menu. So I say...dessert for 'dinnah'! I was 1/4 cup short of apricots so added the remainder in dried cranberries. I used the full 3 cups of flour and refrigerated, but the dough still flattened during cooking. I think I have a solution to the soft dough problem. Just leave off the 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Anyhoo, my family had no clue they were to be any other way and was totally loved. Made for PRMR Holiday Special.

These were delicious, and I was so happy that I succeeded at my first attempt at making biscotti! I had a problem with the apricots I had just bought - the bag wasn't sealed, and I didn't have time to go to the store to exchange. So I substituted dried cranberries and it was wonderful. I liked the almond flavor but my extract might have been a little strong - next time, when I try with apricots, I will probably reduce to 1/2 or 3/4 tsp of extract. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
