Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• ³⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Almond extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the sliced almonds.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log, about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down.
8. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
9. Serve and enjoy!
