These crunchy lemon biscotti are the perfect combo of sweet and tangy. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea. Of course, I like them straight from the freezer!

Directions

Prepare the Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  2. Pour oil into the bowl of an electric mixer. Place sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl and massage together, gently pressing down on the zest to release the lemon oils. Add to the mixer along with the extracts and lemon juice. Mix to combine.

  3. Add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until smooth. Fold in almonds and white chocolate chips. Dough will be sticky, so wet hands before proceeding.

  4. Divide dough in half and shape into two

    flattened logs. Bake for approximately 25

    minutes or until it starts turning golden at

    the edges.

  5. Remove from oven and cool for five minutes. Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).

  6. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into

    thin slices and turn them on their sides.

    Return to oven and let them crisp for 10

    minutes. Turn the oven off but leave the door open with biscotti inside for about 10 minutes or more. Then remove from oven

    and let cool.

Prepare the Glaze

  1. Combine all glaze ingredients in a small

    bowl. Adjust quantities if necessary to

    achieve a thick, smooth glaze. Drizzle over

    biscotti.

  2. Garnish with lemon zest and sliced almonds, if desired. These biscotti freeze well.

Notes:
This recipe is very forgiving.I like the lemon flavor bold and almost mouth-puckeringly tangy. If you prefer a more subtle flavor, feel free to use the zest of just one lemon or reduce the lemon juice to three tablespoons.

Store at room temperature for up to two to three weeks in an airtight container. Freeze for up to two months; they can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or thawed at room temperature.
