Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Butter, melted
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log approximately 9 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 7

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake the biscotti slices for 12-15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will become crunchier as they cool.

Step 12

Store the cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
