Instructions
Place cranberries in a small bowl; sprinkle with orange juice. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in pistachios and lemon peel.
Drain cranberries; stir into dough.
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into thirds. On a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, shape each portion into a 12-in. x 2-in. rectangle.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board; with a serrated knife, cut each loaf into 20 slices.
Place cut side down on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm, turning once.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
For icing, combine confectioners' sugar and lemon peel in a small bowl; stir in enough milk to achieve desired drizzling consistency.
Drizzle over biscotti. Store in an airtight container.
