Use natural pistachios for this recipe, not the ones colored red.

2 eggs
1/3 c. sugar
2 tablespoons margarine, at room
temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup shelled pistachios
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick
cooking spray.

With an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar until light and frothy. Add
margarine and vanilla extract; mix about 30 seconds. Add lour and baking
powder; mix well.

Mix in pistachios and dried cranberries.

In the center of the cookie sheet, shape batter into a tube-shaped loaf
about 2 inches wide and about 15 inches long. Bake 25 minutes.

Using a serrated knife, cut loaf into 1/3-inch thick slices. Return
slices to cookie sheet; bake 5 minutes more. Turn off oven, and let
biscotti dry in the oven about 30 minutes.

Cook cookies. Store in a tightly covered tin.
