Stuff I found in a drawer

OK everybody, I guess you need to know how Heidi files her recipes. When she says she knows where it is that means we might get it today sometime. Here are some pictures and recipes I found in a junk drawer:

So this is a GREAT recipe for Biscotti. A little history of Biscotti from the website Biscotti Goddess:

Biscotti originated centuries ago, thanks to an Italian baker who liked to serve them with Tuscan wine. The idea spread across Italy, and eventually into many other cultures. Mandelbrot are a version with Jewish origins. The Germans have zwieback, and the Spanish have carquinyoles. The French serve croquets de carcassonne and Parisienne biscottes. In Greece, you’ll find biskota and paximadia, and in Holland, you’d be served a rusk. Centuries ago, biscotti proved to be an ideal food for soldiers, sailors and fisherman, who needed sustenance while on long journeys.

So for this great cookie here is Heidi's basic recipe and she has done them with pistaschios, lenmon and other great stuff.
Biscotti
2-1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups pistaschios
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 stick of softened butter
Preheated oven at 300
Form dough into 2 rough logs with wet fingers
Bake for 30 - 40 minutes
Remove from oven. Cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick
Place back on cookie sheet
Reduce oven to 275 degrees and bake for an additional 20 minutes

These are really great with either tea, coffee or cold milk
