Lemon–White Chocolate Biscotti
 
Yield: 24
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1¼ teaspoons lemon extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup almond slices
  • 1 (4-ounce) package white baking chocolate, such as Baker's
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°.
  2. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Beat at high speed with a mixer until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract, beating to blend.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking well. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating until incorporated. Add almond slices, beating well.
  5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using floured hands, roll dough into a 16x4-inch log. Place dough log on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake log until light brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. (Log may crack during baking.) Transfer log to a wire rack, and let cool until able to handle.
  7. Transfer log to a cutting surface. Using a large serrated knife in a sawing motion, cut log diagonally into ½-inch slices. Lay slices flat on remaining prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake slices until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer biscotti to wire racks, and let cool completely.
  9. Melt white chocolate according to package directions. Transfer chocolate to a piping bag, and snip off end. Drizzle chocolate in a diagonal manner on biscotti. Let set. (To set chocolate quickly, refrigerate for 15 minutes.)
  10. Store biscotti at room temperature in an airtight container with layers separated by waxed paper.
