Fremgangsmåte

Preheat your oven to 175°C/350°F.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Cream the softened butter and sugar together. I actually put on a glove and do this by hand because I don’t have a mixer!

Add the eggs one at a time, and mix.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Yes, it will be sticky!

Lightly oil your hands, divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a log on a baking sheet.

Bake for 30–35 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 160°C/325°F.

Slice the logs into strips. Place the slices on their sides and return them to the oven for 7–10 minutes.

Flip them over and bake for another 7–10 minutes, or until they’re crisp and lightly golden.

While the biscotti are baking, make your glaze. You can mix the lemon zest directly into the glaze or sprinkle it on top after glazing.

Once the biscotti have cooled, drizzle or dip them in the glaze.

Enjoy!!! 🍋

A little note: I normally double this recipe because they freeze really well. Just keep in mind that doubling the glaze makes a LOT of glaze, so I usually make 1½ times the glaze instead. My clients’ grandkids love it when I double the recipe, though, because they get to dip their biscotti into all the extra glaze. 😂🍋
