    Lemon Biscotti

    Lemon Biscotti

    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!

    These Lemon Biscotti have a delicate lemon flavor and are not too sweet. They are a perfect accompaniment to coffee, tea or milk.

    Ingredients

    Biscotti

    • 1-½ Cups flour
    • ⅓ Cup cornmeal
    • 2 Teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ Teaspoon salt
    • 1 Cup sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 3 Tablespoons water
    • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1-½ Tablespoons lemon zest
    • 1 Teaspoon lemon extract

    Icing

    • ½ Cup powdered sugar
    • 2 Teaspoons lemon juice

    Decorative Sugar (Optional)

    • yellow decorative sugar (this can be made by putting 3 drops of yellow food coloring in a container with a lid. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, close the lid and shake vigorously until food coloring has mixed with sugar.)

    Directions

    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 ½-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.
