Christmas Fruitcake Biscotti is the best of both worlds! There's that crunchiness we all love about biscotti, with the chewiness of all of that mixed candied fruit!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups mixed candied fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a hand-held mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and beat to incorporate.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt; beat to incorporate.
  • Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the mixed candied fruit.
  • Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet and form into a log. (Dust your hands with flour; dough is a bit sticky!) Form log into a rectangle shape that is roughly 5" wide and 14" long.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet on a wire cooling rack so that air can circulate around the baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 300°F.
  • Use a fine serrated knife to slice the loaf into 3/4" slices.
  • Place the slices standing up, meaning that both cut sides are exposed, on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the biscotti from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Package biscotti for gift-giving or pile into a food-safe container. Leave at room temperature, or freeze until needed for up to 3 months.

Notes

For the mixed candied fruit, I used the Tutti Fruitti mix from Paradise Fruits.  You can find the exact product here: https://www.paradisefruitco.com/store/paradise-tutti-fruiti-mix/
