Biscotti sound like fancy cookies that require a culinary degree to create. But, in reality, biscotti recipes<\/a> like lemon biscotti are one of the easiest treats to make! The dough comes together in no time at all and doesn’t need to be shaped into individual cookies. Instead, it’s formed into two large loaves, which are baked, sliced and then baked a second time. That double-baking process gives the crunchy biscotti their signature shape and texture.<\/p>\n Biscotti has many variations, but we love how this lemon biscotti recipe uses lemon zest and extract to create a bright, citrusy spin on a classic biscotti recipe<\/a>. A touch of aniseed adds a light licorice flavor that accentuates the light cookie’s sweetness. When the flavors combine, this biscotti lemon recipe creates a cookie that pairs exceptionally well with tea lattes (especially ones made with fragrant Earl Grey).<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and sugar for two minutes or until thickened. Add the oil, lemon extract and vanilla extract, and mix well.<\/p>\n Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Then, beat in the lemon zest and aniseed.<\/p>\n Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 12×2-inch rectangle.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>If the dough is difficult to work with, cover it and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm it up. You can also try wetting your hands to keep the dough from sticking.<\/p>\n Transfer the rectangles to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Flatten to 1\/2-inch thickness.<\/p>\n Bake the biscotti rectangles until they’re golden and the tops begin to crack, 30 to 35 minutes. Carefully remove to wire racks, and let cool for five minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>Don’t let the dough cool too long. Completely cooled biscotti dough won’t slice cleanly.<\/p>\n Transfer the biscotti to a cutting board. Cut with a serrated knife into scant 3\/4-inch slices.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>Cut the biscotti diagonally to create more surface area for a crunchier, crisper biscotti.<\/p>\n Place the slices cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for five minutes. Turn and bake until firm and golden brown, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Remove to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n If using glaze, whisk the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the biscotti, then sprinkle with lemon zest. Store in an airtight container.<\/p>\n Let the lemon biscotti recipe cool completely on a wire rack. Then, transfer the biscotti to an airtight container. Store them on the counter, as the refrigerator can make them soggy.<\/p>\n Lemon biscotti last for up to two weeks. Keep them in an airtight container to keep them from tasting stale.<\/p>\n You can freeze lemon biscotti in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. Place a piece of parchment or waxed paper between the layers to keep the cookies from sticking. Let the frozen biscotti lemon thaw on the counter whenever you’re ready to enjoy them.<\/p>\n Lemon biscotti are perfect for serving with a cup of coffee, tea or homemade latte<\/a>. They also look fantastic on a brunch spread, especially with the added glaze.<\/p>\n Flipping the biscotti is the best way to ensure the crumb dries out properly to create crunchy cookies. Without flipping, the biscotti will turn out soft on one side but hard and over-browned on the other side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our lemon biscotti recipe creates cookies with the perfect texture and crunch.

What is a good glaze to add to lemon biscotti?<\/h3>To punch up the sweetness of this lemon biscotti, try our quick vanilla glaze<\/a> with a teaspoon or so of fresh lemon zest mixed in.
Can you use lemon extract instead of grated lemon zest? <\/h3>If you\u2019re out of fresh lemons, you can use lemon extract instead. Our rule of thumb is substituting 1\/2 teaspoon of lemon extract for every 1 teaspoon of lemon zest called for in the recipe. Although, you have a few more options for lemon zest substitutes<\/a> if you don\u2019t have extract.
How do you serve lemon biscotti?<\/h3>Lemon biscotti are the perfect thing to serve with a cup of coffee or tea. You can even level up to a homemade latte<\/a>\u2014even if you don\u2019t have an espresso machine. If you loved these lemon biscotti, check out more of our biscotti recipes<\/a>.

Can you use lemon extract instead of grated lemon zest? <\/h3>If you\u2019re out of fresh lemons, you may use lemon extract instead. Our rule of thumb is to substitute 1\/2 teaspoon of lemon extract for every 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Although, you do have a few more options for lemon zest substitutes<\/a> if you don\u2019t have extract either.
How do you serve lemon biscotti?<\/h3>Lemon biscotti are the perfect thing to serve with a cup of coffee or tea. You can level up to a homemade latte<\/a>\u2014even if you don\u2019t have an espresso machine. And if you love these lemon biscotti, check out more biscotti recipes<\/a>.
How should you store lemon biscotti?<\/h3>You can store cooled lemon biscotti in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, but you'll probably polish them off before then!
