Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 cup strong coffee, cooled
    1 teaspoon strong coffee, cooled
    1 tablespoon milk
    1 teaspoon milk
    1 large egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    3/4 cup walnuts
    1 1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    3/4 cup dried cranberries
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients (first 7 ingredients listed).
    In a small bowl, whisk egg.
    Add coffee, milk and vanilla.
    Mix well.
    Add egg mixture to dry ingredients.
    If resulting mixture is too dry, add a little more coffee (1/4 tsp at a time).
    Add chips, nuts and cranberries.
    Turn dough onto well-floured board and with floured hands, form into 2 logs, each about 13-14 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide.
    Bake on greased and floured (or parchment-lined) baking sheet for 20-25 minutes.
    Remove from oven (reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees at this point) and let cool for 8 minutes.
    Using serrated knife, cut on a diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces.
    Lay, cut side down, on baking sheet and bake another 6-8 minutes, one side only.
    For a harder biscotti, bake 5 minutes EACH side.
