Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup (142 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
  • 6 tablespoons (84 grams) vegan butter, melted and cooled
  • 5 tablespoons (74 mL) unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 cup (113 grams) whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (114 grams) dried cranberries
  • ½ cup (85 grams) vegan white chocolate chips

Instructions

First Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and orange zest. Work the orange zest into the brown sugar with your fingers. It should be very fragrant.
  • To the brown sugar, add the melted vegan butter, soy milk, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Then, add the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix with a spatula until almost totally combined. Add the dried cranberries and fold them in, totally combining the dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and press it out into an even log. The final dimensions should be about 14 inches long and 3 inches wide. Once you have it shaped, pop it in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the bottom part of the giant cookie is starting to brown. Let it cool a bit.

Second Bake

  • Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Carefully transfer the big cookie to a cutting board and slice into 1 ½ inch slices. They will seem too wet/uncooked in the middle! Place the slices upright on the baking sheet. Carefully transfer sliced biscotti to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes or until they’ve dried out a bit. Let them cool completely.
  • Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15 second increments. It usually takes 45 seconds for me. Drizzle the cooled biscotti with the white chocolate. Pop the biscotti in the fridge for 5 minutes so that the white chocolate can set. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Pascha, Enjoy Life, and Healthy Crunch brands all make vegan white chocolate chips.
Perfect for dunking into a coffee, these zesty orange cranberry biscotti are simple to make and have an extra indulgent white chocolate finish.
