- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1-½ Tablespoons lemon zest

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |
