Steps

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.

Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend.

Using an electric mixer , beat the sugar , butter , lemon zest , and salt in a large bowl to blend.

Beat in the eggs 1 at a time.

Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended.

Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.

Form the dough into a 13-inch long , 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until light golden , about 40 minutes.

Cool for 30 minutes.

Place the log on the cutting board.

Using a sharp serrated knife , cut the log on a diagonal into 1 / 2 to 3 / 4-inch-thick slices.

Arrange the biscotti , cut side down , on the baking sheet.

Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden , about 15 minutes.

Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.

Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts.

Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate.
