This is a simple, straight-forward recipe for Lemon Biscotti.

What I particularly enjoy is the texture the cornmeal gives to this cookie. The lemon flavor is delicate, and the cookie is not too sweet.

These Lemon Biscotti are perfect served alongside a cup of coffee, tea or milk.

ENJOY!

Biscotti
Step 1
In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In mixing bowl, beat together on high speed sugar, egg, water, oil, lemon zest and lemon extract.
Step 3
Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture until just combined. Dough will be sticky.
Step 4
Wet or oil hands and divide dough into two 12" logs. Place on greased baking sheet and bake in 375°F oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden.
Step 5
Cool for about 10 minutes then slice logs crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices in single layer on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, turning the slices over at the half-way point.
Icing
Step 6
For the icing, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle on the biscotti while they are still warm. Add yellow decorative sugar at this time, if desired.
